Copy Passwd Or Shadow From TMP Path
This rule detects attempts to copy the 'passwd' or 'shadow' files from the '/tmp/' directory using the 'cp' command. This activity is highly suspicious as these files contain sensitive user account information, including password hashes (in the case of 'shadow'), and should not typically be copied to temporary directories. An adversary might do this to exfiltrate credentials for offline cracking or to move them to a location accessible for further exploitation.
