Detects processes on Linux systems that exhibit fileless execution characteristics while masquerading as common shells or interpreters. This behavior is a key TTP of the ShadowHS post-exploitation framework, which uses argv spoofing and in-memory execution to evade detection.

This rule detects modifications to AI assistant configuration files by suspicious processes like package managers (npm, yarn) or shell interpreters (bash, powershell). This activity is indicative of a supply chain attack, specifically the SANDWORM_MODE campaign, where an attacker injects a rogue Model Context Protocol (MCP) server entry to hijack AI tools. This enables automated source code and secret theft via prompt injection.

Detects the execution or presence of files associated with the Muddled Libra threat actor's toolkit. This includes tools for tunneling (Chisel), Active Directory reconnaissance (ADRecon, ADExplorer), and the initial tool archive (goon.zip). The rule identifies process execution by hash, filename, or command line arguments, and file creation events for specific hashes.
