LoFP LoFP / trusted applications persisting via launchagent

Techniques

Sample rules

Launch Service Creation and Immediate Loading

Description

An adversary can establish persistence by installing a new launch agent that executes at login by using launchd or launchctl to load a plist into the appropriate directories.

Detection logic

sequence by host.id with maxspan=30s
 [file where host.os.type == "macos" and event.action == "launch_daemon"] by process.entity_id
 [process where host.os.type == "macos" and event.type in ("start", "process_started") and process.name == "launchctl" and process.args == "load"] by process.parent.entity_id
