// Rule: 11_palo_alto_beacon // Periodic Palo Alto traffic patterns matching C2 beacon profile // // Source KQL: see ../kql/11_palo_alto_beacon.kql // // HOW TO RUN // curl POST {sdl}/api/powerQuery with this body, OR paste in // the SDL console. Set startTime = '2h' (or wider) so the API // scans the freshly-ingested epochs that contain the events. // // Time anchor at export: NOW = 2026-05-31T20:10:05+00:00 // Recent-window cutoff: 2026-05-31T18:10:05+00:00 // (`ts_epoch_ms` below is that cutoff expressed in ms. // Re-run harness/export_rules.py to refresh after regenerating // sample_data/events.jsonl.) // // Fields referenced: Activity, Alto, CommonSecurityLog, DestinationIP, DestinationPort, DeviceVendor, Networks, Palo, RECENT_MS, SourceIP… // // EDITING NOTE // Every line that starts with `|` is a pipeline stage. Each `|` // is REQUIRED. If you delete one (e.g. while changing a literal // on the same line as a stage), SDL re-parses the keyword that // follows as a search term and rejects the query with errors // like `'estimate_distinct' is a grouping function`. event_type='CommonSecurityLog' | filter DeviceVendor = 'Palo Alto Networks' AND Activity = 'TRAFFIC' | filter ts_epoch_ms >= 1780251005000 | group TotalEvents = count() by SourceIP, DestinationIP, DestinationPort | filter TotalEvents > 30
