This rule monitors for common command line flags leveraged by the Chisel client utility followed by a connection attempt.
Chisel is a command-line utility used for creating and managing TCP and UDP tunnels, enabling port forwarding and secure
communication between machines. Attackers can abuse the Chisel utility to establish covert communication channels, bypass
network restrictions, and carry out malicious activities by creating tunnels that allow unauthorized access to internal
systems.
