status: production
type: Anomaly
description: This analytic is to detect a deletion of ssl certificate in a linux machine.
attacker may delete or modify ssl certificate to impair some security features or
act as defense evasion in compromised linux machine. This Anomaly can be also a
good indicator of a malware trying to wipe or delete several files in a 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.
data_source:
- Sysmon Event ID 11
search:
selection1:
TargetFilename: /etc/ssl/certs/*
Filesystem.action: deleted
selection2:
TargetFilename:
- '*.pem'
- '*.crt'
condition: selection1 and selection2
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.
