name: Linux Clipboard Data Copy

type: Anomaly
description: The following analytic detects the use of the Linux 'xclip' command to
copy data from the clipboard. It leverages Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)
telemetry, focusing on process names and command-line arguments related to clipboard
operations. This activity is significant because adversaries can exploit clipboard
data to capture sensitive information such as passwords or IP addresses. If confirmed
malicious, this technique could lead to unauthorized data exfiltration, compromising
sensitive information and potentially aiding further attacks within the environment.
data_source:
- Sysmon for Linux EventID 1
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Processes where Processes.process_name=xclip
Processes.process IN ("*-o *", "*-sel *", "*-selection *", "*clip *","*clipboard*")
by Processes.dest Processes.user Processes.parent_process_name Processes.process_name
Processes.process Processes.process_id Processes.parent_process_id | `drop_dm_object_name(Processes)`
| `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` | `security_content_ctime(lastTime)` | `linux_clipboard_data_copy_filter`'
how_to_implement: The detection is based on data that originates from Endpoint Detection
and Response (EDR) agents. These agents are designed to provide security-related
telemetry from the endpoints where the agent is installed. To implement this search,
you must ingest logs that contain the process GUID, process name, and parent process.
Additionally, you must ingest complete command-line executions. These logs must
be processed using the appropriate Splunk Technology Add-ons that are specific to
the EDR product. The logs must also be mapped to the `Processes` node of the `Endpoint`
data model. Use the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) to normalize the field
names and speed up the data modeling process.
known_false_positives: False positives may be present on Linux desktop as it may commonly
be used by administrators or end users. Filter as needed.
