|
|
This hunt identifies potential persistence mechanisms via System V Init on Linux systems. System V Init is a legacy init system used in many Linux distributions. System V Init uses scripts in /etc/init.d/ to start and stop services. These queries monitor for file creation/modification and process execution events in directories and files associated with System V Init services. These activities can indicate attempts to establish persistence through System V Init configurations. The hunt lists detailed information for further analysis and investigation.
