What it detects

This rule detects outbound HTTP requests carrying the UAT-10608 command-and-control beacon layout where the URI encodes the victim host, the harvesting phase and a campaign identifier as h, l and id parameters. This structured query pattern is used by the credential harvesting operation to report progress and exfiltrate results over HTTP. Matching traffic indicates an actively beaconing compromised host.
