name: Linux Data Destruction Command
id: b11d3979-b2f7-411b-bb1a-bd00e642173b
version: 1

status: production
type: TTP
description: The following analytic identifies a unix shell command that can wipe
root folders of a linux host. This commandline is being abused by Awfulshred malware
that wipes or corrupts files in a targeted Linux host. The shell command uses the
rm command with force recursive deletion even in the root folder. This TTP can be
a good indicator that a user or a process wants to wipe roots directory files in
Linux host.
data_source:
- Sysmon Event ID 1
search: '| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time)
as lastTime from datamodel=Endpoint.Processes where Processes.process_name = "rm" AND
Processes.process IN ("* -rf*", "* -fr*") AND Processes.process = "* --no-preserve-root"
by Processes.dest Processes.user Processes.parent_process_name Processes.process_name
Processes.process Processes.process_id Processes.parent_process_id Processes.process_guid
| `drop_dm_object_name(Processes)` | `security_content_ctime(firstTime)` | `linux_data_destruction_command_filter`'
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.
