I added a whitelist variable utlizing the urlsplit library which is already installed. This allows users an easy way to whitelist domains using the domain.txt file located in cwd/whitelist/. This signature caused misleading "hits "that require the analyst to spend large amounts of time sifting through legitimate URL's in order to find a malicious URL. This change allows users to add any whitelisted entries into the domain.txt file as an easy way to trim down the "noise".

Original Alert:
Malicious URL finding - Adobe

Added armmf.adobe.com to cwd/whitelist/domain.txt with nano:
domain_txt entries

New Alert:
Malicious URL finding - Adobe_after adding_armmf_adobe_com

Thank you.

Microsoft states that:
"Owner File (Same Directory as Source File)
When a previously saved file is opened for editing, for printing, or for review, Word creates a temporary file that has a .doc file name extension. This file name extension begins with a tilde (~) that is followed by a dollar sign ($) that is followed by the remainder of the original file name."
