This detection rule focuses on monitoring the Windows process `winlogon.exe`, which is a critical system process responsible for user logon and logoff tasks. The rule is designed to flag any instances where `winlogon.exe` initiates outbound network connections to public IP addresses, as such behavior may indicate potential malicious activity or compromise. In the context of post-exploitation tactics, adversaries may use this legitimate process to communicate with their command-and-control (C2) infrastructure, making its monitoring essential for identifying abnormal behaviors. The rule includes a filter that excludes commonly used private IP address ranges, ensuring that only suspicious activity targeting public IPs is alerted. By actively monitoring these outbound connections, organizations can enhance their detection capabilities against potential evasion tactics employed by attackers.
