This rule detects outbound network connections to IP addresses that have been observed for the first time within the last 24 hours. It specifically excludes connections to private IP address ranges (RFC1918). The detection relies on correlating current network connection events with historical 'first seen' data for IP addresses from an entity graph.

Detects the use of the `sysinfo` system call in Linux, which provides a snapshot of key system statistics such as uptime, load averages, memory usage, and the number of running processes. Malware or reconnaissance tools might leverage `sysinfo` to fingerprint the system, gathering data to determine if it's a viable target.

This rule detects outbound network connections to IP addresses that exhibit low prevalence within the monitored environment. Specifically, it flags connections to IPs that have a rolling maximum prevalence of 1 to 3 occurrences over a 10-day period. This behavior can be indicative of command and control (C2) communication, data exfiltration, or other suspicious activities where adversaries might use newly registered or rarely seen infrastructure.

This rule detects outbound network connections to known Tor exit nodes. It leverages a Google Cloud Threat Intelligence (GCTI) feed that provides a list of current Tor exit node IP addresses. The rule specifically looks for allowed network connections where the target IP address is identified as a Tor exit node by the GCTI feed. This can indicate an attempt to anonymize network traffic, which is often associated with malicious activity.

Detects the execution of host or user discovery utilities such as "whoami", "hostname", "id", "last", "uname", "users", "w", and "who" on Linux systems. Adversaries use these commands to gather information about the system and its users to inform subsequent actions.

Detects the creation of a process that includes environment variables for HTTP or HTTPS proxy settings in its command line. This can indicate an attempt to route network traffic through a proxy, potentially for command and control or to bypass network restrictions.

This rule detects the launch of processes whose associated file hash (SHA256) has a low prevalence across the monitored environment. Specifically, it flags processes where the SHA256 hash has been observed on 1 to 3 distinct endpoints over the past 10 days. This can indicate the execution of rare or newly introduced executables, which could be malicious.

This rule detects when a known malicious file, identified by its SHA256 hash through VirusTotal relationships, attempts to contact a domain that VirusTotal also associates with that file. It correlates DNS query events with VirusTotal intelligence to identify suspicious network communications originating from potentially compromised systems.

This rule detects buffer overflow attempts in Unix system log files by looking for specific keywords. These keywords include phrases indicating an attempt to execute code on the stack, known exploit strings like '0bin0sh1', a long string of 'A's (which can be indicative of buffer filling), and messages related to 'stack smashing detected'. The rule aims to identify malicious activity where an attacker tries to overflow a buffer to gain control of program execution, potentially leading to privilege escalation.

This rule detects attempts to create or rename files with a space at the end of their filename, which can be used to obfuscate malicious files or commands. Specifically, it looks for command-line executions involving 'echo "*" > * && chmod +x *' or 'mv * "* "'. The first pattern suggests creating an executable file with a trailing space, and the second suggests renaming a file to include a trailing space.

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.
