description: cpulimit is a simple program which attempts to limit the cpu usage of
|
|
a process (expressed in percentage, not in cpu time). This is useful to control
|
|
batch jobs, when you don't want them to eat too much cpu. If sudo right is given
|
|
to the program 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: '*-l*'
|
|
selection2:
|
|
CommandLine: '*cpulimit*'
|
|
selection3:
|

CommandLine: '*-f*'
|
|
selection4:
|
|
CommandLine: '*sudo*'

condition: selection1 and selection2 and selection3 and selection4
|
|
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 may be present, filter as needed.
