description: Awk is mostly used for processing and scanning patterns. It checks one
|
|
or more files to determine whether any lines fit the specified patterns, and if
|
|
so, it does the appropriate action. If sudo right is given to AWK binary for the
|
|
user, then the user can run system commands as root and possibly get a root shell.

data_source:
|

- Sysmon Event ID 1

|
search:
|
|
selection1:
|
|
CommandLine: '*awk*'
|
|
selection2:
|
|
CommandLine: '*sudo*'
|
|
selection3:
|
|
CommandLine: '*BEGIN*system*'
|
|
condition: selection1 and selection2 and selection3
|
|
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search, you need to be ingesting
|
|
logs with the process name, parent process, and command-line executions from your
|
|
endpoints into the Endpoint datamodel. If you are using Sysmon, you can use the
|
|
Add-on for Linux Sysmon from Splunkbase.
|
|
known_false_positives: False positives are present based on automated tooling or system
|
|
administrative usage. Filter as needed.
