Good Morning,

I have identified what I am almost certain is traffic from malicious chrome extension infections on our network.  The 
IOC in my case is hxxp://brainlog.top, which has the same registrar (VIACHESLAV ZINKEVICH) as 100+ other suspicious 
domains (attached), including 4chan-plus.com, which has a reddit PSA 
(https://www.reddit.com/r/chrome/comments/4caqdv/psa_remove_4chan_plus_its_inserting_malware_into/) for the same 
activity we're seeing here.

Proposed rule:
alert tcp $HOME_NET any -> $EXTERNAL_NET $HTTP_PORTS (msg:"ET MALWARE Malicious Chrome Extension"; 
flow:established,to_server; content:"page?url="; http_uri; fast_pattern; content:"user"; http_uri; content:"iframe="; 
http_uri; content:!"Referer|3a|"; http_header; classtype:trojan-activity; sid:123456; rev:1; )

It'd be pretty easy to add some pcre into it if necessary, the patterns are consistent.

Example URIs (2 separate infections, delineated by the string following "user"):
