This detection rule targets the use of the command 'csrutil' on macOS systems, specifically when it is executed with the 'status' argument. System Integrity Protection (SIP) serves as a security technology designed to protect macOS from malicious software by restricting the actions that can be performed on protected parts of the system. By querying the SIP status via this command, attackers can gather crucial information about the protection level in place, which can help them plan further attacks or exploitation strategies. The rule is intended for use in post-exploitation scenarios where the attacker has already gained some level of access to the target macOS environment. This rule identifies any legitimate requests for SIP status, thus helping to flag potential reconnaissance activities that could lead to more serious security issues. It is crucial to monitor such command executions, as they may indicate malicious intent when occurring outside of standard operational context.
