LowElastic detection rules

Network Connection Followed by File Creation

Detects network connections originating from a binary located in a potentially suspicious location, followed by a file creation event. This behavior is consistent with C2 agents such as Poseidon and Athena, connecting to a C2 framework such as Mythic. The agent polls the C2 for commands through a web request, after which the command gets executed.
