This rule leverages the File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) integration to detect file modifications of files that are
commonly used for persistence on Linux systems. The rule detects modifications to files that are commonly used for
cron jobs, systemd services, message-of-the-day (MOTD), SSH configurations, shell configurations, runtime control,
init daemon, passwd/sudoers/shadow files, Systemd udevd, and XDG/KDE autostart entries. To leverage this rule, the
paths specified in the query need to be added to the FIM policy in the Elastic Security app.

## Setup
This rule requires data coming in from the Elastic File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) integration.
### Elastic FIM Integration Setup
To configure the Elastic FIM integration, follow these steps:
1. Install and configure the Elastic Agent on your Linux system. You can refer to the [Elastic Agent documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/ingest-management/current/agent-configuration.html) for detailed instructions.
2. Once the Elastic Agent is installed, navigate to the Elastic Security app in Kibana.
3. In the Kibana home page, click on "Integrations" in the left sidebar.
4. Search for "File Integrity Monitoring" in the search bar and select the integration.
6. Provide a name and optional description for the integration.
7. Select the appropriate agent policy for your Linux system or create a new one.
8. Configure the FIM policy by specifying the paths that you want to monitor for file modifications. You can use the same paths mentioned in the `query` field of the rule. Note that FIM does not accept wildcards in the paths, so you need to specify the exact paths you want to monitor.
9. Save the configuration and the Elastic Agent will start monitoring the specified paths for file modifications.
For more details on configuring the Elastic FIM integration, you can refer to the [Elastic FIM documentation](https://docs.elastic.co/integrations/fim).
