Detects DNS queries, TLS SNI, and HTTP Host header traffic associated with the IronToll phishing campaign. The rule specifically monitors for government-impersonating domains and lookalike domains utilizing various non-standard top-level domains (TLDs).

Detects anomalous network traffic patterns characterized by rapid domain rotation, where multiple distinct domains resolve to a known set of IronToll C2 infrastructure IP addresses within a short timeframe (48 hours). Added an explicit 2-day lookback window — the original query had no time bound at all, so every scheduled run re-scanned the table's entire retention period and would keep re-surfacing the same historical match indefinitely instead of only genuinely recent activity.

Detects country-coded lure path requests (/eg, /ma) followed by a cloaking differential response (desktop UA blocked with 404, mobile UA served content). Fixed a regex bug where the original pattern matched any path merely starting with 'eg' or 'ma' (e.g. /egg.jpg, /mail, /manifest.json) instead of the exact path segment.

Detects the Iron Man System phishing kit via its HTTP fingerprint: a request-header rule (ETag/Server/Via combo) checked on the external server's response, and three request-side rules checking for the kit's hashed asset paths and favicon when an internal host requests them from an external site. Fixed a direction bug on the three request-side rules that had source/destination reversed (they previously required an external host to request the path from an internal server, which would rarely if ever fire).

Detects the Iron Man System kit's known template artifact path, and separately its randomized per-deployment admin-panel path shape combined with a Host header on a disposable TLD. Splitting these and requiring the disposable-TLD host on the generic admin-path rule avoids matching legitimate multi-tenant apps or hardened CMS installs that use similar random-path-plus-/admin/ obfuscation on ordinary domains.

Detects active phishing threat-intelligence indicators whose domain name uses one of the disposable TLDs observed across IronToll's 73+ rotating lookalike domains (.cfd, .sbs, .icu, .buzz, etc.). Scoped to the structured ThreatType classification only — dropped the free-text 'Description has phishing' fallback, since KQL's 'has' is a substring/token match with no negation awareness (e.g. a description stating an indicator is 'not related to phishing' would still match), which could pull in indicators unrelated to actual phishing activity.

Detects emails delivering links to IronToll government-impersonation traffic-fine/payment portals (Egyptian and Moroccan justice-ministry lures), correlated with Safe Links click-through telemetry for the same URLs.

Detects the disabling of host-based firewalls (Windows Filtering Platform/Advanced Firewall, iptables, or nftables) via command-line tools. The rule excludes common management tools, system accounts, and events where the firewall is re-enabled within a short timeframe, effectively filtering for potentially unauthorized attempts to impair security defenses.
