Type Name Severity Module Data source / event ATT&CK
Analytics BIOC A compressed file was exfiltrated over SSH Exfiltration of a compressed file over SSH. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Exfiltration
Analytics BIOC Adding execution privileges A script was granted execution privileges using chmod before being run. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Execution
Analytics BIOC An uncommon service was started An uncommon service was started using systemctl or service processes. Low Platform Analytics XDR Agent Persistence, Privilege Escalation
Analytics BIOC Command execution in a Kubernetes pod Container administration commands were executed within a Kubernetes pod. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Execution
Analytics BIOC Copy a process memory file Copy a process memory file using the dd utility. High Platform Analytics XDR Agent Credential Access
Analytics BIOC Execution of command from within a Kubernetes pod using kubelet credentials A command was executed from within a Kubernetes pod using Kubelet credentials. This activity allows an attacker to impersonate the node and perform privileged operations against the cluster API. Low Platform Analytics XDR Agent Privilege Escalation
Analytics BIOC File transfer from unusual IP using known tools An adversary might use known tools to transfer tools/payloads into the compromised machine. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Command and Control
Analytics BIOC Hydra Password Brute-Force Tool Execution Attackers may use brute-force techniques to gain access to accounts when usernames and/or passwords are unknown. High Platform Analytics XDR Agent Credential Access
Analytics BIOC Indicator blocking Auditing or logging configuration changes on Linux host. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Defense Evasion
Analytics BIOC Installation of a new System-V service Installation of a new System-V service. Low Platform Analytics XDR Agent Persistence, Privilege Escalation
Analytics BIOC Keylogging using system commands Usage of a Linux system utility to capture input. Low Platform Analytics XDR Agent Credential Access, Collection
Analytics BIOC Kubelet server communication from a pod The Kubelet server was accessed from within a pod, which may indicate an attempt to escape container boundaries or escalate privileges. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Privilege Escalation, Discovery
Analytics BIOC Kubernetes API server communication from within a pod The Kubernetes API server was accessed from within a pod. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Discovery
Analytics Kubernetes environment enumeration activity Multiple resources within a Kubernetes cluster were enumerated. This may indicate an adversary attempting to map the Kubernetes environment and discover resources that may assist to perform additional attacks within the environment. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Discovery
Analytics BIOC Kubernetes nsenter container escape The nsenter command was used to execute a process in the context of the initialization process. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Privilege Escalation
Analytics BIOC Kubernetes secret enumeration activity Kubectl secret enumeration command was executed. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Credential Access
Analytics BIOC Kubernetes version disclosure The Kubernetes API server was inquired about the Kubernetes version by a process from within a pod. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Discovery
Analytics BIOC Kubernetes vulnerability scanner activity A Kubernetes cluster was scanned by a known vulnerability scanner. Medium Platform Analytics XDR Agent Execution, Discovery
Analytics BIOC Masquerading as the Linux crond process Copies a file and renames it as crond. Low Platform Analytics XDR Agent Defense Evasion
Analytics BIOC Modification of PAM Modification of PAM configuration files. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Persistence, Defense Evasion, Credential Access
Analytics BIOC Mount command was executed from within a Kubernetes pod to list all the attached filesystems The mount command was executed inside a Kubernetes pod to list all the attached filesystems, which may serve as a precursor to container escape and host filesystem access. Low Platform Analytics XDR Agent Privilege Escalation
Analytics BIOC Permission Groups discovery commands Permission group discovery command execution. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Discovery
Analytics BIOC Possible data obfuscation A command that can be used for file obfuscation was executed with an uncommon command line. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Defense Evasion
Analytics BIOC Remote code execution into Kubernetes Pod A container administration service was used to execute commands within a Kubernetes Pod. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Execution
Analytics BIOC Retrieval of kubelet credentials A process retrieved kubelet credentials. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Credential Access
Analytics BIOC Run downloaded script using pipe Downloading a script using wget or curl and executing it using a pipe to a shell. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Execution
Analytics BIOC Setuid and Setgid file bit manipulation The setuid or setgid bits were set on a file. Low Platform Analytics XDR Agent Privilege Escalation, Defense Evasion
Analytics Suspicious container reconnaissance activity in a Kubernetes pod A process performed multiple consecutive container discovery commands from within a Kubernetes Pod. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Discovery
Analytics BIOC Suspicious container runtime connection from within a Kubernetes Pod A process from within a Kubernetes Pod communicated with the container runtime daemon using the runtime socket. This may indicate an adversary attempting to escape from the Kubernetes Pod to the host. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Execution
Analytics BIOC Suspicious curl user agent Suspicious user agent provided to curl command. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Command and Control
Analytics BIOC Suspicious docker image download from an unusual repository The agent has pulled a docker image from a repository for the first time. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Execution
Analytics BIOC Suspicious process execution from tmp folder An unpopular process was executed from the tmp folder. Informational Platform Analytics XDR Agent Defense Evasion
