description: This analytic looks for a commandline that change the file owner to root
|
|
using chown utility tool. This technique is commonly abuse by adversaries, malware
|
|
author and red teamers to escalate privilege to the targeted or compromised host
|
|
by changing the owner of their malicious file to root. This event is not so common
|
|
in corporate network except from the administrator doing normal task that needs
|
|
high privilege.

data_source:
|
|
- Sysmon Event ID 1
|
|
search:
|
|
selection1:
|
|
CommandLine: '*chown *'
|
|
selection2:
|
|
Image|endswith: chown
|
|
selection3:
|
|
CommandLine: '* root *'
|
|
condition: (selection1 or selection2) and selection3
|
|
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.
