name: Linux Kernel Module Enumeration

type: Anomaly
datamodel:
- Endpoint
description: The following analytic identifies the process kmod being utilized to list kernel modules in use.
Typically, this is not seen as malicious, however it may be a precurser to the use of insmod to install a module.
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Processes where Processes.process_name=kmod Processes.process IN ("*lsmod*", "*list*")
by Processes.dest Processes.user Processes.parent_process_name Processes.process_name
Processes.process Processes.process_id Processes.parent_process_id
| `drop_dm_object_name(Processes)`
| `security_content_ctime(firstTime)`
| `security_content_ctime(lastTime)` | `linux_kernel_module_enumeration_filter`'
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 are present based on automated tooling or system administrative usage. Filter as needed.
