description: gawk command in Linux is used for pattern scanning and processing language.
|
|
The awk command requires no compiling and allows the user to use variables, numeric
|
|
functions, string functions, and logical operators. It is a utility that enables
|
|
programmers to write tiny and effective programs in the form of statements that
|
|
define text patterns that are to be searched for, in a text document and the action
|
|
that is to be taken when a match is found within a line. If sudo right is given
|
|
to gawk tool for the user, then the user can run system commands as root and possibly
|
|
get a root shell.

data_source:
|
|
- Sysmon Event ID 1

|
search:
|
|
selection1:
|
|
CommandLine: '*BEGIN*{system*'
|
|
selection2:
|
|
CommandLine: '*gawk*'
|
|
selection3:
|
|
CommandLine: '*sudo*'
|
|
condition: selection1 and selection2 and selection3
|
|
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 into the Endpoint datamodel. If you are using Sysmon, you can use the
|
|
Add-on for Linux Sysmon from Splunkbase.
|
|
known_false_positives: False positives may be present, filter as needed.
