A Sigma rule for process creation on Linux, by Andreas Hunkeler (@Karneades).

medium 1 ATT&CK technique

What it looks for

its detection, as SigmaHQ writes it

detection:
  selection:
    CommandLine|contains: '--unsafe'
    Image|endswith: 'bpftrace'
  condition: selection

The rule’s detection, its selections and fields in order of name. The whole rule, with its references and false positives, is on SigmaHQ, by Andreas Hunkeler (@Karneades), under the Detection Rule License 1.1. CmdID evaluates it on a command line alone: a test on what a command line cannot show, such as the parent process or the user, is not met.
