Detects the potential abuse of the Linux Magic SysRq (System Request) key by adversaries with root or sufficient privileges
to silently manipulate or destabilize a system. By writing to /proc/sysrq-trigger, they can crash the system, kill processes,
or disrupt forensic analysis—all while bypassing standard logging. Though intended for recovery and debugging, SysRq can be
misused as a stealthy post-exploitation tool. It is controlled via /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq or permanently through /etc/sysctl.conf.

Detects usage of the `mknod` syscall to create special files (e.g., character or block devices).
Attackers or malware might use `mknod` to create fake devices, interact with kernel interfaces,
or establish covert channels in Linux systems.
Monitoring the use of `mknod` is important because this syscall is rarely used by legitimate applications,
and it can be abused to bypass file system restrictions or create backdoors.

This query detects execution of processes related to Visual Studio Code extension signing or caching that involve known Glassworm-compromised extensions. Based on indicators published by KOI (October 20, 2025), it identifies suspicious .vsix package operations potentially associated with self-propagating malicious VSCode extensions observed in OpenVSX and Microsoft VSCode marketplaces.

To extract vscode extension version I used this the https://detections.ai/rules/924f7b5f-d8df-4eed-ba06-08c657f65891.
