This rule detects the execution of common system discovery commands (such as uname, ifconfig, netstat, ip, and file reading of sensitive paths) by interpreter processes (sshd, bash, sh, python) or vmanage-related processes. This activity is often associated with post-exploitation reconnaissance, where an adversary attempts to map system or network configurations.
