Hunts telemetry for published NeedyMantis indicators: three known SHA-256 hashes (WinSparkle.dll first-stage loader and its encrypted archive, plus the older libcurl archive), the C2 domain corp.tripswithengine[.]com, and the C2 URL path /library/zip/ on that domain. Domain/URL matching parses the actual host out of RemoteUrl and requires an EXACT match (not substring 'has/contains'), so a different domain that merely contains 'corp.tripswithengine.com' as a suffix of a longer label (e.g. 'notcorp.tripswithengine.com') or as a prefix of an unrelated domain (e.g. 'corp.tripswithengine.com.evil.net') cannot match. No malicious IP address has been published for this campaign, so IP-based matching is intentionally not included.

Detects the NeedyMantis main-component handshake: an HTTP GET to port 443 with a User-Agent that is EXACTLY the hard-coded literal 'firefox/21.0' (anchored start+end) and an explicit 'Upgrade: websocket' header, marking the HTTPS-to-WebSocket protocol switch used before the RC4 key exchange. Restricting to port 443 and requiring an exact (not substring) UA match removes generic WebSocket apps and any traffic where 'firefox/21.0' merely appears inside a real, longer browser UA string.

Detects egress to the NeedyMantis C2 domain corp.tripswithengine[.]com across three vantage points: TLS SNI (port 443), DNS resolution, and HTTP Host header. Each content match is anchored to the start of its buffer ('startswith') so a different domain that merely contains 'corp.tripswithengine.com' as a suffix of a longer label (e.g. 'notcorp.tripswithengine.com') cannot match — only this exact domain or a genuine subdomain of it triggers.
