Detects user permission data export attempt.
Dependabot performs a scan to detect insecure dependencies, and sends Dependabot alerts.
This rule detects when an organization owner disables Dependabot alerts private repositories or Dependabot security updates for all repositories.
This rule detects when an organization owner disables Dependabot alerts private repositories or Dependabot security updates for all repositories.
Detects when the policy allowing forks of private and internal repositories is changed (enabled or cleared).
Detects when an organization member or an outside collaborator is added to or removed from a project board or has their permission level changed or when an owner removes an outside collaborator from an organization or when two-factor authentication is required in an organization and an outside collaborator does not use 2FA or disables 2FA.
Detects when a GitHub Pages site of a repository is made public. This usually is part of a publishing process but could indicate or lead to potential unauthorized exposure of sensitive information or code.
Detects when a repository or an organization is being transferred to another location.
This analytic detects suspicious data transfer activities involving the use of the `split` syscall with the `-b` option, which specifies the size of each output file. This technique can be used by attackers to evade detection by breaking large files into smaller parts, bypassing size-based security controls, and facilitating covert exfiltration of sensitive data. By monitoring for unusual or unauthorized use of the `split` syscall with a specified block size, this analytic helps identify potential data exfiltration attempts.
Detects the use of `systemctl mask` to disable system power management targets such as suspend, hibernate, or hybrid sleep. Adversaries may mask these targets to prevent a system from entering sleep or shutdown states, ensuring their malicious processes remain active and uninterrupted. This behavior can be associated with persistence or defense evasion, as it impairs normal system power operations to maintain long-term access or avoid termination of malicious activity.
This analytic identifies the bulk creation of ransomware notes (e.g., .txt, .html, .hta files) on an infected machine. It leverages Sysmon EventCode 11 to detect multiple instances of these file types being created within a short time frame (10 seconds). A detection is triggered if 15 or more unique readme paths are observed. This activity is a strong indicator of an active ransomware attack, where the attacker is notifying the victim of the encryption. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could lead to widespread data encryption, rendering critical files inaccessible and potentially causing significant operational disruption.
The following analytic detects suspicious attempts to find credentials stored in password stores, indicating a potential attacker's effort to access sensitive login information. Password stores are critical repositories that contain valuable credentials, and unauthorized access to them can lead to significant security breaches. By monitoring for unusual or unauthorized activities related to password store access, this analytic helps identify potential credential theft attempts, allowing security teams to respond promptly and prevent unauthorized access to critical systems and data.
Detects the creation of nsswitch.conf files in non-standard directories, which may indicate exploitation of CVE-2025-32463. This vulnerability requires an attacker to create a nsswitch.conf in a directory that will be used during sudo chroot operations. When sudo executes, it loads malicious shared libraries from user-controlled locations within the chroot environment, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution and privilege escalation.
Detects the execution of suspicious commands often used in Command and Control (C2) activities, as identified in Florian Roth's 'Best Practice Auditd Configuration'. These commands include `wget`, `curl`, `base64`, `nc`, `netcat`, `ncat`, `ssh`, `socat`, `wireshark`, `rawshark`, `rdesktop`, and `nmap`. These tools can be leveraged for various adversarial techniques such as data transfer, remote access, network discovery, and data encoding.
The following analytic detects suspicious attempts to find SSH private keys, which may indicate an attacker's effort to compromise secure access to systems. SSH private keys are essential for secure authentication, and unauthorized access to these keys can enable attackers to gain unauthorized access to servers and other critical infrastructure. By monitoring for unusual or unauthorized searches for SSH private keys, this analytic helps identify potential threats to network security, allowing security teams to quickly respond and safeguard against unauthorized access and potential breaches.
Detects the removal or modification of system firewall rules using common Linux firewall management tools like iptables, firewall-cmd, ufw, and nft. This rule specifically looks for commands that delete or remove existing rules, which adversaries might use to bypass network controls and enable C2 communications, lateral movement, or data exfiltration. This detection aims to catch more granular firewall modifications than just a complete firewall disablement.
The analytic detects the creation or enabling of services on Linux platforms using the `systemctl` or `service` tools. It leverages Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) logs, focusing on process names, parent processes, and command-line executions. This activity is significant as adversaries may create or modify services to maintain persistence or execute malicious payloads. If confirmed malicious, this behavior could lead to persistent access, data theft, ransomware deployment, or other damaging outcomes. Monitoring and investigating such activities are crucial for maintaining the security and integrity of the environment.
Detect attempt to enable auditing of TTY input
Detects potential exploitation of CVE-2025-41244, a local privilege escalation vulnerability in VMware Tools and Aria Operations.
An attacker can stage a malicious binary in a world-writable directory (e.g., /tmp) which is then executed with root privileges by the VMware service discovery mechanism when it attempts to determine the binary's version.

Detects execution of TruffleHog, a tool used to search for secrets in different platforms like Git, Jira, Slack, SharePoint, etc. that could be used maliciously.
While it is a legitimate tool, intended for use in CI pipelines and security assessments,
It was observed in the Shai-Hulud malware campaign targeting npm packages to steal sensitive information.

Detects potential exploitation of VMware CVE-2025-41244, where a privileged VMware service discovery script executes a binary from a world-writable directory like /tmp. This behavior is consistent with the local privilege escalation technique used by UNC5174.
Detects suspicious activities as declared by Florian Roth in its 'Best Practice Auditd Configuration'.
This includes the detection of the following commands; wget, curl, base64, nc, netcat, ncat, ssh, socat, wireshark, rawshark, rdesktop, nmap.
These commands match a few techniques from the tactics "Command and Control", including not exhaustively the following; Application Layer Protocol (T1071), Non-Application Layer Protocol (T1095), Data Encoding (T1132)
