This rule detects potentially malicious command-line arguments used with common Linux utilities. It monitors for: the use of 'unshare' for namespace manipulation often used for privilege escalation or container escapes, the 'ip xfrm' command for configuring IPsec policies, and the loading of kernel modules ('modprobe'/'insmod') with suspicious parameters ('esp4', 'esp6', 'rxrpc') which could indicate the installation of malicious rootkits or kernel-level backdoors.

Detects the initial stage of the Meow RAT ClickFix campaign, specifically targeting fileless zsh loaders. This rule identifies command-line executions involving 'zsh', 'bash', or 'sh' that combine 'eval', 'base64', 'gzip', and either 'curl' or 'osascript', often with redirection to /dev/null. This pattern is indicative of a gzip+base64 encoded heredoc being fetched via curl and executed in memory, followed by osascript for further actions.

Detects command line activity indicative of an attempt to access or extract browser-related files such as 'Cookies' or 'Local State', which are commonly associated with session theft or credential harvesting from major web browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari.

Detects the 'lambsys' malware terminating competing cryptocurrency miner processes (such as xmrig, kinsing, or watchdog) using process termination commands (pkill, kill, killall) from a non-root shell. The detection further correlates this activity with the launch of a new miner binary from temporary directories and subsequent outbound network connections to common mining pool ports.

Detects the creation of hidden, dot-prefixed staging directories in /tmp/ or /var/tmp/ commonly associated with the 'lambsys' cryptominer dropper. The rule monitors for the creation of a hidden directory, multiple subsequent file drops (binaries or scripts), execution of chmod +x on these files, and final execution of the binary. A lower-severity alert is triggered when a non-interactive web server process creates such a directory.

Detects the Lambsys cryptominer malware performing SSH credential harvesting by accessing user SSH keys (known_hosts, authorized_keys, id_rsa) with unauthorized processes, staging these files in temporary or hidden directories, and subsequently initiating outbound SSH connections for lateral movement, all correlated by process group ID.

Detects persistence mechanisms used by the lambsys/procq cryptominer. It identifies two specific behaviors: 1) Correlation of non-root process execution (isp.sh, lambsys, procq) followed within 120 seconds by modifications to cron configuration files (e.g., /etc/cron.d/, /var/spool/cron/crontabs/) containing suspicious command-line patterns or mining pool references. 2) Direct detection of crontab -e invocations using heredoc redirection (<<) to install persistence payloads that match known miner dropper patterns and mining pool endpoints.

Detects attempts by a user or process to disable or modify Linux kernel-level mandatory access control mechanisms, specifically SELinux and AppArmor. Such actions are commonly performed by adversaries to reduce system security posture and facilitate further malicious activity by bypassing enforced containment policies.

This rule detects network connections made to specific non-standard ports (7777, 8080, 8443) where the remote URL contains substrings associated with proxy or tunneling activities ('proxy', 'tunnel', 'hide'). This behavior is commonly associated with malware attempting to evade security controls by routing traffic through unauthorized intermediaries or obfuscated tunnels.

Detects web server processes (IIS/Nginx) spawning native Windows or Linux shells (cmd.exe, sh, bash), immediately followed by reconnaissance or download tool execution (whoami.exe, ping.exe, certutil.exe, curl, wget) within a 2-minute window. This pattern is indicative of a web shell being used for initial system compromise and subsequent information gathering or tool deployment.

This rule detects shell reconnaissance activities associated with the TeamPCP threat group. Specifically, it looks for commands that parse '/var/log/auth.log' for successful logins or execute 'env | grep AWS_' to find AWS credentials. This behavior is indicative of an attacker attempting to gather authentication information or cloud credentials from a compromised system.

This rule detects the use of JSON-RPC 'eth_call' by a non-browser process during network connection events. It specifically looks for network activity where the process is not a known web browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox) and the network traffic or command line contains the string '"method":"eth_call"'. This behavior is often associated with malware or cryptocurrency-related threats attempting to resolve dynamic commands or addresses.

This rule detects network connections where a non-browser process (specifically excluding Chrome, Edge, and Firefox) attempts to resolve dynamic commands or addresses using the JSON-RPC 'eth_call' method. It specifically targets scenarios where this activity is associated with known malware structures like SessionGate, Remus, or AnimateClipper, rather than a standalone executable name. The detection logic looks for 'eth_call' in either the DomainName or the ContextProcessCommandLine fields during network connection events.

Detects a network beacon triggered strictly during model initialization. If a Python process loads a model file and immediately establishes an outbound TCP connection to an unknown IP, it indicates an embedded payload phoning home.

Detects Electron applications attempting to establish persistence using `setLoginItemSettings` in conjunction with JavaScript code execution (`eval`) or external process execution (`child_process` and `execFile`). This combination is indicative of malicious activity, such as that observed in Clickfix attacks, where an application gains persistence and then executes arbitrary code.

Detects unauthorized processes reading, copying, or renaming Kerberos ticket cache files (ccache) located in common temporary directories. This behavior is often associated with credential theft and potential Pass the Ticket attacks where adversaries attempt to extract session credentials to perform lateral movement or privilege escalation.

Detects attempts to exploit the Squidbleed vulnerability by monitoring 'squid.exe' process command lines for keywords related to FTP default configuration exploitation, specifically 'Safe_ports', 'CONNECT', 'PORT', 'PASV', '21', and 'tcp_outgoing_address'. This indicates an adversary trying to bypass security controls or exfiltrate data via FTP.

Detects web service accounts (e.g., www-data) unexpectedly spawning shells from FFmpeg. This behavior is strongly indicative of remote code execution (RCE) via the PixelSmash vulnerability, specifically targeting automated preview generation in platforms like Nextcloud.
