Karen,
Quite simply, just monitor execve (in addition to targeted/mandated monitoring)
as
per
# Process execution
-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S execve -F auid!=unset -F key=cmds
And within /etc/audit/auditd.conf change
max_log_file = 8 num_logs = 5to max_log_file = 32 num_logs = 9
Which caters for an expanded set of /var/log/audit/audit.log files (32 x 9 =
288MB).You would need to send your logs to a central SIEM say every 10-15
minutes.
Burn AltingPS. I know I have identified b32 arch but the best b32 arch rule now
for
most modern (and supported Linux) is-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S all -F
key=32bit-
