RulenameA host is potentially running a hacking tool (ASIM Web Session schema)
DescriptionThis rule identifies a web request with a user agent header known to belong to a hacking tool. This indicates a hacking tool is used on the host.<br>You can add custom hacking tool indicating User-Agent headers using a watchlist, for more information refer to the UnusualUserAgents Watchlist.<br><br>

This analytic rule uses ASIM and supports any built-in or custom source that supports the ASIM WebSession schema (ASIM WebSession Schema)
