Detection Logic
network where host.os.type == "windows" and network.protocol == "dns" and
/* Add new free SSL certificate provider domains here */
dns.question.name : ("*letsencrypt.org", "*.sslforfree.com", "*.zerossl.com", "*.freessl.org") and
/* Native Windows process paths that are unlikely to have network connections to domains secured using free SSL certificates */
process.executable : ("C:\\Windows\\System32\\*.exe",
"C:\\Windows\\System\\*.exe",
"C:\\Windows\\SysWOW64\\*.exe",
"C:\\Windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework*\\*.exe",
"C:\\Windows\\explorer.exe",
"C:\\Windows\\notepad.exe") and
/* Insert noisy false positives here */
