The analytic identifies potential Linux persistence and privilege escalation activities by correlating risk scores and event counts from various Linux-related data sources. It focuses on behaviors associated with persistence and privilege escalation tactics. This activity is significant for a SOC because it highlights behaviors that could allow an attacker to maintain access or gain elevated privileges on a Linux system. If confirmed malicious, this activity could enable an attacker to execute code with higher privileges, persist in the environment, and potentially access sensitive information, posing a severe security risk.
The analytic detects suspicious command lines that append user entries to `/etc/at.allow` or `/etc/at.deny` files on Linux systems. This activity is significant because altering these configuration files can allow attackers to schedule tasks with elevated permissions, facilitating persistence on a compromised Linux host. If confirmed malicious, this could enable attackers to execute arbitrary code at scheduled intervals, potentially leading to further system compromise and unauthorized access to sensitive information. The rule specifically looks for `echo` commands writing to these files.
The following analytic detects potential unauthorized modifications to Linux cronjobs using text editors like "nano," "vi," or "vim." It identifies this activity by monitoring command-line executions that interact with cronjob configuration paths. This behavior is significant for a SOC as it may indicate attempts at privilege escalation or establishing persistent access. If confirmed malicious, the impact could be severe, allowing attackers to execute damaging actions such as data theft, system sabotage, or further network penetration.
The analytic detects the execution of Puppet commands with elevated privileges, specifically when Puppet is used to apply configurations with sudo rights. This detection leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process execution logs that include command-line details. This activity is significant because it indicates a potential privilege escalation attempt, where a user could gain root access and execute system commands as the root user. If confirmed malicious, this could allow an attacker to fully compromise the system, execute arbitrary commands, and maintain persistent control.
The analytic detects the execution of Ruby commands with elevated privileges on a Linux system. It identifies processes where Ruby is used with the `-e` flag to execute commands via `sudo`, leveraging Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) telemetry. This activity is significant because it indicates a potential privilege escalation attempt, allowing a user to execute commands as root. If confirmed malicious, this could lead to full system compromise, enabling an attacker to gain root access, execute arbitrary commands, and maintain persistent control over the affected system.
This analytic detects the restarting or re-enabling of services on Linux systems using the `systemctl` or `service` commands. It leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents, focusing on process and command-line execution logs. This activity is significant as adversaries may use it to maintain persistence or execute unauthorized actions. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could lead to repeated execution of malicious payloads, unauthorized access, or data destruction. Security analysts should investigate these events to mitigate risks and prevent further compromise.
The following analytic detects the execution of the sqlite3 command with elevated privileges, which can be exploited for privilege escalation. It leverages Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) telemetry to identify instances where sqlite3 is used in conjunction with shell commands and sudo.
