210 rules
Possible Setuid and Setgid (via process_creation)
lowThis rule detects anomalous change of file privileges with chown and chmod commands
sigmaLinux2026-04-04Suspicious Linux Base64 Encoded Pipe to Shell (via process_creation)
mediumThis rule detects anomalous process command line that uses base64 encoded input for execution with a shell
sigmaLinux2026-04-04Possible Docker Container Enumeration Through Dockerenv Listing (via process_creation)
lowThis rule detects listing or file reading of ".dockerenv" that can be a sing of potential container discovery
sigmaLinux2026-04-02Possible Network Sniffing - Linux (via auditd)
lowThis rule detects network sniffing refers to using the network interface on a system to monitor or capture information sent over a wired or wireless connection. An adversary may place a network interface into promiscuous mode to passively access data in transit over the network, or use span ports to capture a larger amount of data.
sigmaLinux2026-04-02Possible Linux Remote System Enumeration (via process_creation)
lowThis rule detects the enumeration of other remote systems.
sigmaLinux2026-04-01Suspicious ESXi Account Creation Through ESXCLI (via process_creation)
mediumThis rule detects user account creation on ESXi system via esxcli
sigmaLinux2026-03-31Suspicious Named Error (via syslog)
highThis rule detects anomalous DNS error messages that indicate a fatal or anomalous error that could be caused by exploiting attempts
sigmaLinuxPaid2026-03-27Suspicious Mask System Power Settings Through Systemctl (via process_creation)
highThis rule detects the use of systemctl mask to disable system power management targets such as suspend, hibernate, or hybrid sleep. Adversaries may mask these targets to prevent a system from entering sleep or shutdown states, ensuring their hostile processes remain active and uninterrupted. This behavior can be linked with persistence or defense evasion, as it impairs normal system power operations to maintain long-term access or avoid termination of hostile activity.
sigmaLinuxPaid2026-03-26Possible System Network Enumeration - Linux (via process_creation)
informationalThis rule detects enumeration of local network configuration
sigmaLinux2026-03-26Execution of Suspicious Nohup (via process_creation)
highThis rule detects execution of binaries located in potentially anomalous locations via "nohup"
sigmaLinuxPaid2026-03-26Suspicious Access of Sudoers File Content (via process_creation)
mediumThis rule detects the execution of a text-based file access or inspection utilities to read the content of /etc/sudoers to potentially list all users that have sudo rights.
sigmaLinux2026-03-25Suspicious Python Reverse Shell Execution Through PTY And Socket Modules (via process_creation)
highThis rule detects the execution of python with calls to the socket and pty module to connect and spawn a potential reverse shell.
sigmaLinuxPaid2026-03-22Suspicious Creation of Privileged User Has Been (via linux)
highThis rule detects the addition of a new user to a privileged group such as "root" or "sudo"
sigmaLinuxPaid2026-03-21Possible GobRAT File Enumeration Through Grep (via process_creation)
highThis rule detects the use of grep to discover specific files created by the GobRAT malware
sigmaLinuxPaid2026-03-20Suspicious Traffic To LocaltoNet Tunneling Service Initiated - Linux (via network_connection)
highThis rule detects an executable initiating a network connection to "LocaltoNet" tunneling sub-domains. LocaltoNet is a reverse proxy that enables localhost services to be exposed to the Internet. Attackers have been seen to use this service for command-and-control activities to bypass MFA and perimeter controls.
sigmaLinuxPaid2026-03-20Malicious Execution of Webshell Remote Command (via auditd)
criticalThis rule detects possible command execution by web application/web shell
sigmaLinuxPaid2026-03-19Suspicious History File Operations - Linux (via auditd)
mediumThis rule detects commandline operations on shell history files
sigmaLinux2026-03-19Suspicious Shell Invocation through Apt - Linux (via process_creation)
mediumThis rule detects the use of the "apt" and "apt-get" commands to execute a shell or proxy commands. Such behavior may be linked with privilege escalation, unauthorized command execution, or to break out from restricted environments.
sigmaLinux2026-03-18Suspicious Linux Doas Conf File Creation (via file_event)
mediumThis rule detects the creation of doas.conf file in linux host platform.
sigmaLinux2026-03-17Suspicious Syslog Clearing or Removal Through System Utilities (via process_creation)
highThis rule detects specific commands frequently used to remove or empty the syslog. Which is a method frequently used by adversary as a method to hide their tracks
