description: This analytic is to detect the execution of sudo or su command in linux
|
|
operating system. The "sudo" command allows a system administrator to delegate authority
|
|
to give certain users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands
|
|
as root or another user while providing an audit trail of the commands and their
|
|
arguments. This command is commonly abused by adversaries, malware author and red
|
|
teamers to elevate privileges to the targeted host. This command can be executed
|
|
by administrator for legitimate purposes or to execute process that need admin privileges,
|
|
In this scenario filter is needed.

search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
|
|
as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Processes where Processes.process_name IN ("sudo",
|
|
"su") OR Processes.parent_process_name IN ("sudo", "su") by Processes.dest Processes.user

|
|
| `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` | `security_content_ctime(lastTime)` | `linux_sudo_or_su_execution_filter`'
|
|
how_to_implement: The detection is based on data that originates from Endpoint Detection
|
|
and Response (EDR) agents. These agents are designed to provide security-related
|
|
telemetry from the endpoints where the agent is installed. To implement this search,
|
|
you must ingest logs that contain the process GUID, process name, and parent process.
|
|
Additionally, you must ingest complete command-line executions. These logs must
|
|
be processed using the appropriate Splunk Technology Add-ons that are specific to
|
|
the EDR product. The logs must also be mapped to the `Processes` node of the `Endpoint`
|
|
data model. Use the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) to normalize the field
|
|
names and speed up the data modeling process.
|
|
known_false_positives: Administrator or network operator can execute this command.
|
|
Please update the filter macros to remove false positives.
