This rule detects suspicious sub-processes spawned by common web server processes on Linux systems. It specifically looks for web server processes (Apache, Nginx, Lighttpd, Node, Caddy, Tomcat, WebSphere) executing common system utilities and commands such as 'whoami', 'ifconfig', 'ip', 'uname', 'cat', 'crontab', 'hostname', 'iptables', 'netstat', 'pwd', and 'route'. This behavior is indicative of a web shell being used to execute commands on the compromised server.

This rule detects attempts to enumerate local network configuration on Linux systems. It specifically looks for the execution of common network utilities such as 'firewall-cmd', 'ufw', 'iptables', 'netstat', 'ss', 'ip', 'ifconfig', 'systemd-resolve', and 'route'. Additionally, it triggers if '/etc/resolv.conf' is present in the command line, indicating an attempt to inspect DNS resolver configuration.

This rule detects attempts to discover DNS servers within a network using LDAP queries. Specifically, it looks for DNS queries where the query name starts with '_ldap.' and the query originates from an uncommon or suspicious application. The rule filters out queries from common system processes, known legitimate applications (like Microsoft Defender), and browsers to reduce false positives. The intent is to identify adversaries performing reconnaissance to map out network infrastructure.

This rule detects various discovery commands commonly used on Cisco network devices. These commands are often used by adversaries to gather information about the network topology, device configuration, running processes, user sessions, and system details. The rule specifically looks for keywords associated with commands like 'dir' (file/directory listing), 'show arp' (ARP cache), 'show cdp' (Cisco Discovery Protocol neighbors), 'show clock' (system time), 'show ip interface' (IP interface configuration), 'show ip route' (routing table), 'show ip sockets' (network connections), 'show processes' (running processes), 'show ssh' (SSH sessions), 'show users' (logged-in users), and 'show version' (system information).

Detects the execution of the 'echo' command with the '%userdomain%' environment variable. This activity can be used by adversaries to enumerate the domain a user is associated with, which is a common discovery technique.

Detects the use of 'nltest.exe' with command-line arguments indicative of reconnaissance activity, specifically targeting domain trust discovery and domain controller enumeration. Adversaries often use 'nltest.exe' to gather information about the network environment, which can aid in lateral movement and privilege escalation within Windows domains.

Detects the execution of PowerShell cmdlets 'Get-NetFirewallRule' or 'Show-NetFirewallRule' to enumerate local firewall rules on a host. This activity is often performed by adversaries during the discovery phase to understand network configurations and potential egress/ingress points.
