description: 'The following analytic detects the execution of the "At" application
|
|
in Linux, which can be used by attackers to create persistence entries on a compromised
|
|
host. This detection leverages data from Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) agents,
|
|
focusing on process names and parent process names associated with "at" or "atd".
|
|
This activity is significant because the "At" application can be exploited to maintain
|
|
unauthorized access or deliver additional malicious payloads. If confirmed malicious,
|
|
this behavior could lead to data theft, ransomware attacks, or other severe consequences.
|
|
Immediate investigation is required to determine the legitimacy of the execution
|
|
and mitigate potential risks.'

data_source:
|
|
- Sysmon for Linux EventID 1

|
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count from datamodel=Endpoint.Processes
|
|
where Processes.process_name IN ("at", "atd") OR Processes.parent_process_name
|
|
IN ("at", "atd") by Processes.dest Processes.user Processes.parent_process_name
|
|
Processes.process_name Processes.process Processes.process_id Processes.parent_process_id

|
|
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 use this application
|
|
for automation purposes. Please update the filter macros to remove false positives.
