This rule detects the use of the 'chattr +i' command over a network connection to port 22 (SSH). The 'chattr +i' command on Linux is used to make a file immutable, meaning it cannot be modified, deleted, or renamed, even by the root user. This behavior can be indicative of an attacker attempting to prevent forensic analysis or hinder system recovery by protecting their malicious files or modifying critical system files.

This rule detects attempts to copy the /etc/shadow file, which contains hashed user passwords, for offline password cracking. It specifically looks for the string "cat /etc/shadow" in TCP traffic destined for the home network on any port, indicating a potential exfiltration attempt or preparation for credential access. The rule is designed to alert on established connections where this specific command is observed.

This rule detects process command lines that indicate an attempt to execute a one-line install command from a GitHub raw content URL, often associated with untrusted or malicious projects. It specifically looks for common command-line tools used for downloading and executing scripts (like iex, Invoke-WebRequest, curl, wget, msiexec, Start-Process) in conjunction with keywords suggesting fake software or plugins (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, AutoTune, Kontakt, plugin, installer).
