Justin Ibarra 59da2da474 [Rule Tuning] Ensure host information is in endpoint rule queries (#2593)
* add unit tests to ensure host type and platform are included
* add host.os.name 'linux' to all linux rules
* add host.os.name macos to mac rules
* add host.os.name to windows rules; fix linux dates
* update from host.os.name to host.os.type

Identifies a reverse shell via the abuse of named pipes on Linux with the help of OpenSSL or Netcat. First in, first out
(FIFO) files are special files for reading and writing to by Linux processes. For this to work, a named pipe is created
and passed to a Linux shell where the use of a network connection tool such as Netcat or OpenSSL has been established.
The stdout and stderr are captured in the named pipe from the network connection and passed back to the shell for
execution.

Netcat and OpenSSL are common tools used for establishing network connections and creating encryption keys. While
