This rule detects outbound network connections from a Linux system to known Monero crypto mining pools. The detection is based on a predefined list of destination hostnames associated with various Monero mining operations. This activity is indicative of resource hijacking, where a system's computational resources are illicitly used for cryptocurrency mining.

This rule detects the usage of the 'chattr' utility with the '-i' flag to remove the immutable file attribute on Linux systems. Removing this attribute can allow adversaries to modify or delete critical system files that were previously protected, often as a defense evasion technique to hinder forensic analysis or remove persistence mechanisms.

Detects attempts to force stop the Uncomplicated Firewall (ufw) using the 'ufw-init' script with the 'force-stop' argument, or disabling ufw using the 'ufw disable' command. This activity can indicate an adversary attempting to bypass host-based firewall controls to facilitate network communications for C2, lateral movement, or data exfiltration.

This rule detects a specific threading-related error message in Apache HTTP Server error logs. The error message indicates an issue with priority changes for pthreads, specifically an assertion failure related to `__pthread_tpp_change_priority`. This could be indicative of an underlying problem with the Apache server's threading model, potentially caused by misconfigurations, incompatible modules, or resource exhaustion. While the rule itself doesn't directly detect an attack, such errors could be exploited or could be a symptom of a system under stress or compromise.

Detects potential exploitation attempts targeting the Cacti Command Injection vulnerability, CVE-2022-46169. The rule looks for specific patterns in GET requests to '/remote_agent.php' with 'action=polldata' and 'poller_id=' in the query, combined with suspicious command injection payloads like 'base64 -d | /bin/bash', 'whoami', 'powershell', 'cmd', or 'wget'.

Detects the use of the 'steghide' binary with the 'embed' command and specific flags ('-cf' or '-ef') to hide files using steganography. This technique can be used by adversaries to embed malicious payloads or sensitive data within legitimate-looking files, such as images, to evade detection.

This rule detects the use of the 'grep' command on Linux systems to identify information about the operating system's architecture. Adversaries often combine this activity with other discovery commands like 'uname' or 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' to gather system details. The rule specifically looks for 'grep' executions where the command line arguments include common architecture strings such as 'aarch64', 'arm', 'i386', 'i686', 'mips', or 'x86_64'. This activity is indicative of an attacker attempting to understand the environment they have compromised.

Detects attempts to exploit the VMware Workspace ONE Access Admin Remote Code Execution vulnerability (CVE-2022-31659) by monitoring for POST requests to the '/SAAS/jersey/manager/api/migrate/tenant' URI. This URI is associated with the migration API, and suspicious activity here could indicate an attacker attempting to leverage the vulnerability for remote code execution.

Detects potential OGNL Injection exploitation, which may lead to RCE.
OGNL is an expression language that is supported in many JVM based systems.
OGNL Injection is the reason for some high profile RCE's such as Apache Struts (CVE-2017-5638) and Confluence (CVE-2022-26134)
