name: Linux Decode Base64 to Shell

version: 1
date: '2022-07-27'
author: Michael Haag, Splunk
status: production
type: TTP
description: The following analytic identifies base64 being decoded and passed to
a Linux shell.
data_source:
- Sysmon Event ID 1
search:
selection1:
CommandLine: '*|*'
selection2:
CommandLine:
- '*base64 -d*'
- '*base64 --decode*'
condition: selection1 and selection2
how_to_implement: To successfully implement this search you need to be ingesting information
on process that include the name of the process responsible for the changes from
your endpoints into the `Endpoint` datamodel in the `Processes` node. In addition,
confirm the latest CIM App 4.20 or higher is installed and the latest TA for the
endpoint product.
known_false_positives: False positives may be present based on legitimate software
being utilized. Filter as needed.
