description: This analytic is to detect a deletion of init daemon script in a linux machine.
daemon script that place in /etc/init.d/ is a directory that can start and stop some daemon services in linux machines.
attacker may delete or modify daemon script to impair some security features or act as defense evasion in a compromised linux machine.
This TTP can be also a good indicator of a malware trying to wipe or delete several files in compromised host as part of its destructive payload like what
acidrain malware does in linux or router machines. This detection can be a good pivot to check what process and user
tries to delete this type of files which is not so common and need further investigation.

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. If you are using Sysmon, you can use the Add-on for Linux Sysmon from
Splunkbase.
known_false_positives: Administrator or network operator can execute this command.
Please update the filter macros to remove false positives.
