description: This analytic looks for suspicious commandline that modify the iptables firewall setting of a linux machine.
This technique was seen in cyclopsblink malware where it modifies the firewall setting of the compromised machine to allow
traffic to its tcp port that will be used to communicate with its C2 server.
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Processes
where Processes.process = "*iptables *" AND Processes.process = "* --dport *" AND Processes.process = "* ACCEPT*"
by Processes.process_name Processes.process Processes.process_id Processes.parent_process_id
Processes.process_guid Processes.dest Processes.user Processes.parent_process_name
| `drop_dm_object_name(Processes)`
| `security_content_ctime(firstTime)`
| `security_content_ctime(lastTime)`
| `linux_iptables_firewall_modification_filter`'
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 may do this commandline for auditing and testing purposes.
In this scenario filter is needed.
