name: Linux Visudo Utility Execution

author: Teoderick Contreras, Splunk
type: Anomaly
datamodel:
- Endpoint
description: This analytic is to looks for suspicious commandline that add entry to
/etc/sudoers by using visudo utility tool in linux platform. This technique may
abuse by adversaries, malware author and red teamers to gain elevated privilege
to targeted or compromised host. /etc/sudoers file controls who can run what commands
as what users on what machines and can also control special things such as whether
you need a password for particular commands. The file is composed of aliases (basically
variables) and user specifications (which control who can run what).
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Processes where Processes.process_name = visudo
by Processes.dest Processes.user Processes.parent_process_name Processes.process_name
Processes.process Processes.process_id Processes.parent_process_id Processes.process_guid
| `drop_dm_object_name(Processes)` | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` | `security_content_ctime(lastTime)`
| `linux_visudo_utility_execution_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 or network operator can execute this command.
Please update the filter macros to remove false positives.
