Detects attempts to load kernel modules using common utilities like 'insmod', 'modprobe', or 'kmod'. This activity can be indicative of an attacker attempting to establish persistence, elevate privileges, or hide malicious activity by loading custom kernel modules.

Detects the execution of the `crontab` binary by common web server service accounts on Linux systems. This activity is highly suspicious as it indicates an attacker leveraging remote code execution (RCE) in a web application to establish persistence via scheduled tasks.

This rule detects the execution of the 'awk' command on Linux/Unix systems when it is used with specific command-line arguments that indicate indirect shell execution.
For example, using environmental variables where an attacker modifies the environment variable to point to a malicious binary.

Detects chmod usage that sets SUID or SGID bits, which can be abused for privilege escalation.
2 is the special bit for SGID
4 is the special bit for SetUID
6 combines the special bits for SetUID and SGID

This rule detects suspicious activity related to a specific IP address (142.11.206.73) in network connections, or a specific domain (sfrclak.com) in DNS requests or process command lines. This could indicate communication with known malicious infrastructure or the execution of malware.

This rule detects the execution of hidden shell scripts (files starting with a dot) within the /tmp/ or /var/tmp/ directories on Linux systems, specifically when initiated using `nohup`. This behavior is often associated with malware or post-exploitation activities to maintain persistence or execute malicious payloads discreetly. The rule looks for process execution events where the command line includes `nohup` and references a hidden `.sh` file in a temporary directory.

Detects the removal of system firewall rules. Adversaries may only delete or modify a specific system firewall rule to bypass controls limiting network usage or access.
Detection rules that match only on the disabling of firewalls will miss this.

Detects suspicious execution of `wget` or `curl` attempting to retrieve a payload named exactly `/.shell`. This activity is indicative of the Masjesu botnet's C2 download pattern, where it attempts to download a bash shell file after exploiting a target to initiate device infection and propagation routines.

This rule detects DNS requests to domains known to be associated with malicious browser extensions. These extensions often perform command and control (C2) or data exfiltration activities by communicating with these domains. The rule uses a regex to match both the primary domains and their subdomains, aggregating results by host and domain to identify repetitive beaconing.

Detects actions that disable Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) in Linux, including:
- Use of the `personality` syscall with the ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE flag (0x0040000)
- Modification of the /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space file
- Execution of the `sysctl` command to set `kernel.randomize_va_space=0`
Disabling ASLR is often used by attackers during exploit development or to bypass memory protection mechanisms.
A successful use of these methods can reduce the effectiveness of ASLR and make memory corruption attacks more reliable.

All TCP traffic on particular port from attacker is routed to different port. ex. '/sbin/iptables -t nat -D PREROUTING -p tcp -s 192.168.1.1 --dport 22 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 42392'
The traffic looks like encrypted SSH communications going to TCP port 22, but in reality is being directed to the shell port once it hits the iptables rule for the attacker host only.
