|
description: This analytic is to look for possible ssh key file creation on ~/.ssh/
|
|
folder. This technique is commonly abused by threat actors and adversaries to gain
|
|
persistence and privilege escalation to the targeted host. by creating ssh private
|
|
and public key and passing the public key to the attacker server. threat actor can
|
|
access remotely the machine using openssh daemon service.

|
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
|
|
as lastTime FROM datamodel=Endpoint.Filesystem where Filesystem.file_path IN ("*/.ssh*")
|
|
by Filesystem.dest Filesystem.file_name Filesystem.process_guid Filesystem.file_path
|
|
| `drop_dm_object_name(Filesystem)` | `security_content_ctime(lastTime)` | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)`
|
|
| `linux_possible_ssh_key_file_creation_filter`'
|
|
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search, you need to be ingesting
|
|
logs with the file name, file path, and process_guid 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 create file in ~/.ssh
|
|
folders for automation purposes. Please update the filter macros to remove false
|
|
positives.
