description: This analytic looks for suspicious setcap utility execution to enable
SUID bit. This allows a user to temporarily gain root access, usually in order to
run a program. For example, only the root account is allowed to change the password
information contained in the password database; If the SUID bit appears as an s,
the file's owner also has execute permission to the file; if it appears as an S,
the file's owner does not have execute permission. The second specialty permission
is the SGID, or set group id bit. It is similar to the SUID bit, except it can temporarily
change group membership, usually to execute a program. The SGID bit is set if an
s or an S appears in the group section of permissions.

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.
