Bash Interactive Shell

Sigma Rules

View Source
Summary
This detection rule identifies when a bash shell is executed with the interactive flag '-i', indicating that the shell is being invoked in an interactive mode. Interactive shells typically allow for user input and commands to be executed in real-time, which can be indicative of potential unauthorized access or malicious activity. By monitoring process creation events for bash execution with the '-i' command-line argument, this rule serves as an early warning mechanism to detect potentially suspicious activities, especially in environments where unwanted interactive shells might be harmful. The rule is designed for Linux systems and relies on process creation logs to trigger alerts based on specific command-line patterns. Since interactive shells can be utilized by attackers for remote control or scripting malicious activities, detecting their initiation is crucial for maintaining system integrity and security.
