routine automation, ci/cd jobs, infrastructure tooling, package management, and expected artifact downloads to destinations that are not yet in the allow-list may be classified as suspicious. add persistent, verified benign destinations to the deterministic allow-list.

LLM-Based Wget Activity Triage via Auditd

source: elastic
technicques:
- T1005
- T1048
- T1105

Description

Detects non-allowlisted wget activity on Linux hosts via Auditd Manager or Auditbeat and uses an LLM to assess whether the activity is malicious, benign, or requires investigation. The rule parses and normalizes the destination, redacts sensitive command-line values, and aggregates activity by host and destination before invoking the ES|QL COMPLETION command. Only true positive or suspicious verdicts with confidence above 0.7 generate alerts.
