Disallowed SSH Connection Non Standard Port
Description
Detect any new outbound SSH connection from the host or container using a non-standard port. This rule holds the potential to detect a family of reverse shells that cause the victim machine to connect back out over SSH, with STDIN piped from the SSH connection to a shell's STDIN, and STDOUT of the shell piped back over SSH. Such an attack can be launched against any app that is vulnerable to command injection. The upstream rule only covers a limited selection of non-standard ports. We suggest adding more ports, potentially incorporating ranges based on your environment's knowledge and custom SSH port configurations. This rule can complement the "Redirect STDOUT/STDIN to Network Connection in Container" or "Disallowed SSH Connection" rule.
