What it detects

This rule detects HTTP requests to the InvisibleFerret command and control server that exposes payload, browser, clipboard and key exfiltration endpoints over TCP port 1224. The Lazarus backdoor cycles through fixed URI paths such as payload, brow, mclip and keys on this port. The pairing of the non-standard port with these named resources reveals the backdoor traffic.
