Summary
This rule detects the extraction of sensitive credentials, specifically passwords, on macOS systems by analyzing process creation events. The detection logic targets two main selection criteria: the use of the 'grep' command, which must end with '/grep' and have 'password' present in the command line, and the usage of the 'laZagne' tool. If either of these conditions is met, the rule triggers an alert indicating a potential credential extraction attempt. This can help security teams identify malicious activities aimed at unauthorized retrieval of sensitive data from files, which poses a security risk to the organization.
