Summary
This detection rule is designed to identify RTF (Rich Text Format) attachments or archived files containing links to suspicious domains. The rule specifies that it examines inbound messages and checks for attachments with either common archive file extensions or an RTF file type. It looks for any exploded files within these attachments that have a MIME type of 'text/rtf'. The rule scrutinizes the URLs in these attachments, ensuring that the domain associated with the URL is valid and contains a subdomain, while also applying several filters to exclude certain outcomes such as image URLs or recognized trusted domains. If the domain is found to be part of a known malicious list or is otherwise suspicious, along with checks to avoid false positives and unsolicitedsenders, an alert will be triggered to signal potential phishing attempts.
