HTTP: Data is Not JPEG
This anomaly is triggered if a mismatch is detected between the content type "image/jpeg" and the actual data. The JPEG data should start from the pattern "ff d8 ff." Recent malware Command and Control ("C&C") channels use encrypted data with "jpeg" file extensions, but they are not well-formed JPEG files and will be detected by this anomaly.
