Suspicious Audit Rules Deleted Through Auditctl (via process_creation)
This rule detects the execution of 'auditctl' with the '-D' command line parameter, which deletes all configured audit rules and watches on Linux systems. This method is frequently used by adversaries to disable audit logging and cover their tracks by removing monitoring capabilities. Removal of audit rules can significantly impair detection of hostile activities on the affected system.
