Velvet Ant - Malicious smbd-D SOCKS5 Proxy Masquerading as Samba Daemon
This rule detects potentially malicious or masqueraded Samba (smbd) activity on Linux systems. It monitors for three conditions: smbd processes launched from non-standard binary paths, smbd process network activity from non-standard binary paths, and smbd processes spawned by unauthorized or unexpected parent processes. These patterns are often associated with unauthorized SMB service deployment, malware persistence, or masquerading techniques.
