Summary
The BPFDoor Abnormal Process ID or Lock File Accessed detection rule is designed to identify unauthorized access to certain temporary file storage locations specifically targeting BPFDoor backdoor-related files. It watches for access to specific '.lock' and '.pid' files such as '/var/run/haldrund.pid', '/var/run/xinetd.lock', and '/var/run/kdevrund.pid' using Linux's auditd service. These types of files are often used by processes to manage their runtime state and identify instances of potential exploitation attempts, especially in the context of evasive backdoor installations like BPFDoor. By monitoring these entries, security professionals can quickly spot abnormal activities that might indicate compromise or misconfigured systems, allowing for timely response to potential threats.
