Full Analysis
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill uses standard Linux audit utilities (
auditctl,augenrules,ausearch,aureport) to configure and query the kernel audit system. - [PRIVILEGE_ESCALATION]: Administrative access via
sudois required for all management tasks, including service installation and the use of immutable mode (-e 2) to lock system auditing rules. - [PERSISTENCE]: Persistence is achieved through the
auditdsystemd service and configuration files within/etc/audit/rules.d/. - [DATA_EXFILTRATION]: The skill sets up monitoring for sensitive paths such as
/etc/shadowand/root/.sshto provide forensic attribution. This is a standard security practice. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: Necessary packages are downloaded from official Linux distribution repositories (
apt,dnf). - [INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes untrusted audit logs (
/var/log/audit/audit.log) viaausearch. While the example alerting script lacks sanitization for log lines, the ingestion surface is limited to investigative querying by the agent.
