detection rules: YARA + Falco for the 6 highest-rank modules + playbook

Closes the 'rules in the box' gap — the README has claimed YARA +
Falco coverage but detect_yara and detect_falco were NULL on every
module. This commit lights up both formats for the 6 highest-value
modules (covering 10 of 31 registered modules via family-shared
rules), and the existing operational playbook gains the
format-specific deployment recipes + the cross-format correlation
table.

YARA rules (8 rules, 9 module-headers, 152 lines):
- copy_fail_family — etc_passwd_uid_flip + etc_passwd_root_no_password
  (shared across copy_fail / copy_fail_gcm / dirty_frag_esp /
   dirty_frag_esp6 / dirty_frag_rxrpc)
- dirty_pipe — passwd UID flip pattern, dirty-pipe-specific tag
- dirtydecrypt — 28-byte ELF prefix match on tiny_elf[] + setuid+execve
  shellcode tail, detects the page-cache overlay landing
- fragnesia — 28-byte ELF prefix on shell_elf[] + setuid+setgid+seteuid
  cascade, detects the 192-byte page-cache overlay
- pwnkit — gconv-modules cache file format (small text file with
  module UTF-8// X// /tmp/...)
- pack2theroot — malicious .deb (ar archive + SUID-bash postinst) +
  /tmp/.suid_bash artifact scan

Falco rules (13 rules, 9 module-headers, 219 lines):
- pwnkit — pkexec with empty argv + GCONV_PATH/CHARSET env from non-root
- copy_fail_family — AF_ALG socket from non-root + NETLINK_XFRM from
  unprivileged userns + /etc/passwd modified by non-root
- dirty_pipe — splice() of setuid/credential file by non-root
- dirtydecrypt — AF_RXRPC socket + add_key(rxrpc) by non-root
- fragnesia — TCP_ULP=espintcp from non-root + splice of setuid binary
- pack2theroot — SUID bit set on /tmp/.suid_bash + dpkg invoked by
  packagekitd with /tmp/.pk-*.deb + 2x InstallFiles on same transaction

Wiring: each module's .detect_yara and .detect_falco struct fields
now point at the embedded string. The dispatcher dedups by pointer,
so family-shared rules emit once across the 5 sub-modules.

docs/DETECTION_PLAYBOOK.md augmented (302 -> 456 lines):
- New 'YARA artifact scanning' subsection under SIEM integration
  with scheduled-scan cron pattern + per-rule trigger table
- New 'Falco runtime detection' subsection with deploy + per-rule
  trigger table
- New 'Per-module detection coverage' table — 4-format matrix
- New 'Correlation across formats' section — multi-format incident
  signature per exploit (the 3-of-4 signal pattern)
- New 'Worked example: catching DirtyDecrypt end-to-end' walkthrough
  from Falco page through yara confirmation, recovery, hunt + patch

The existing operational lifecycle / SIEM patterns / FP tuning
content is preserved unchanged — this commit only adds.

Final stats:
- auditd: 109 rule statements across 27 modules
- sigma:  16 sigma rules across 19 modules
- yara:    8 yara rules across 9 module headers (5 family + 4 distinct)
- falco:  13 falco rules across 9 module headers

The remaining 21 modules can gain YARA / Falco coverage incrementally
by populating their detect_yara / detect_falco struct fields.

+### YARA artifact scanning
+
+YARA rules catch the **post-fire** state — page-cache shellcode
+overwrites, malicious `.deb` drops, `/etc/passwd` UID flips. Run them
+as a scheduled scan against sensitive paths:
+
+```bash
+# Ship YARA rules
+sudo skeletonkey --detect-rules --format=yara | sudo tee /etc/yara/skeletonkey.yar
+
+# Scheduled scan via cron — catches the page-cache and /tmp artifacts
+# /etc/cron.d/skeletonkey-yara
+*/15 * * * * root yara -r /etc/yara/skeletonkey.yar \
+                       /etc/passwd /tmp /usr/bin/su /usr/bin/passwd \
+                       2>>/var/log/skeletonkey-yara.log
+```
+
+What each rule catches:
+
+| Rule | Triggers on |
+|---|---|
+| `etc_passwd_uid_flip` | Non-root user line in `/etc/passwd` with a zero-padded UID (`0000+`). Canonical Copy Fail / Dirty Frag / Dirty Pipe / DirtyDecrypt outcome. |
+| `etc_passwd_root_no_password` | `root` line with empty password field — DirtyDecrypt's intermediate corruption step. |
+| `pwnkit_gconv_modules_cache` | Small `gconv-modules` text file with a `module UTF-8// X// /tmp/…` redefinition. |
+| `dirty_pipe_passwd_uid_flip` | Same UID-flip pattern (Dirty Pipe-specific tag). |
+| `dirtydecrypt_payload_overlay` | First 28 bytes of `/usr/bin/su` (or similar) match the embedded 120-byte ET_DYN shellcode the V12 PoC overlays. |
+| `fragnesia_payload_overlay` | Same shape for the 192-byte Fragnesia payload. |
+| `pack2theroot_malicious_deb` | `.deb` ar-archive in `/tmp` with the SUID-bash postinst. |
+| `pack2theroot_suid_bash_drop` | `/tmp/.suid_bash` exists and is a real bash ELF. |
+
+The page-cache overlay rules (`dirtydecrypt_payload_overlay`,
+`fragnesia_payload_overlay`) are particularly high-signal: no
+legitimate ELF starts with those exact 28 bytes, so a hit means the
+exploit landed.
+
+### Falco runtime detection
+
+Falco catches the exploit **as it fires** by hooking syscalls and
+namespace events. Best deploy for K8s / container hosts but works on
+any modern Linux:
+
+```bash
+sudo skeletonkey --detect-rules --format=falco \
+    | sudo tee /etc/falco/rules.d/skeletonkey.yaml
+sudo falco --validate /etc/falco/rules.d/skeletonkey.yaml
+sudo systemctl reload falco   # or restart, depending on distro
+```
+
+What each rule catches:
+
+| Rule | Triggers on |
+|---|---|
+| `Pwnkit-style pkexec invocation` | `pkexec` spawned with empty argv (the bug's hallmark). |
+| `Pwnkit-style GCONV_PATH injection` | Non-root sets `GCONV_PATH=` / `CHARSET=` before spawning a setuid binary. |
+| `AF_ALG authenc keyblob installed by non-root` | `socket(AF_ALG)` by non-root — Copy Fail / GCM variant primitive. |
+| `XFRM NETLINK_XFRM bind from unprivileged userns` | XFRM SA setup from non-root userns — Dirty Frag / Fragnesia primitive. |
+| `/etc/passwd modified by non-root` | Post-fire signal for the whole page-cache-write family. |
+| `Dirty Pipe splice from setuid/sensitive file by non-root` | `splice()` of `/etc/passwd` or `/usr/bin/su` by non-root. |
+| `AF_RXRPC socket created by non-root` | DirtyDecrypt primitive — `socket(AF_RXRPC)` is nearly unheard-of in production. |
+| `rxrpc security key added` | `add_key("rxrpc", …)` by non-root — DirtyDecrypt handshake setup. |
+| `TCP_ULP=espintcp set by non-root` | Fragnesia trigger — flipping a TCP socket to espintcp ULP. |
+| `SUID bash dropped to /tmp` | Pack2TheRoot postinst landing `/tmp/.suid_bash`. |
+| `dpkg invoked by PackageKit on behalf of non-root caller` | Pack2TheRoot chain — `packagekitd → dpkg` installing a /tmp `.pk-*.deb`. |

+Full 4-format coverage on the 10 highest-value modules; auditd
+covers everything. YARA / Falco expansion to the remaining 21 modules
+is incremental contributor work (each module's `detect_yara` /
+`detect_falco` field in the module struct just needs a string).
+
+## Correlation across formats
+
+Single-format detections are useful; the high-confidence signal is
+the **correlation across formats** for the same module in a short
+window. Each exploit leaves a recognisable multi-format trail:
+
+| Exploit | falco fires | auditd fires | yara confirms |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Pwnkit | `pkexec` empty argv | `execve /usr/bin/pkexec` + `GCONV_PATH=` env | gconv-modules cache in /tmp |
+| Dirty Pipe | `splice()` from `/etc/passwd` | splice + write to `/etc/passwd` | UID flip in `/etc/passwd` |
+| Copy Fail | `socket(AF_ALG)` | algif_aead + `ALG_SET_KEY` | UID flip in `/etc/passwd` |
+| Dirty Frag (ESP) | NETLINK_XFRM sendto + TCP_ULP | XFRM_MSG_NEWSA | UID flip in `/etc/passwd` |
+| DirtyDecrypt | `socket(AF_RXRPC)` + `add_key(rxrpc)` | AF_RXRPC + add_key | 120-byte ELF overwrites `/usr/bin/su` |
+| Fragnesia | `TCP_ULP=espintcp` from non-root | XFRM + setsockopt(TCP_ULP) | 192-byte ELF overwrites `/usr/bin/su` |
+| Pack2TheRoot | dpkg invoked by packagekitd with /tmp/.pk-*.deb | new `.deb` in `/tmp` + `chmod 4755` on `/tmp/.suid_bash` | malicious `.deb` + SUID bash both present |
+
+If **three of the four signals** fire for the same module in the same
+window, the exploit landed. **One signal alone** in a noisy
+environment is more likely a tuning FP; **three signals** is incident
+response.
+
+## Worked example: catching DirtyDecrypt end-to-end
+
+A SOC operator gets a Falco page:
+
+```
+CRITICAL  AF_RXRPC socket() by non-root  (user=alice proc=poc pid=44231)
+```
+
+1. **Confirm via auditd** — pull events keyed on the family:
+   ```bash
+   sudo ausearch -k skeletonkey-dirtydecrypt-rxrpc -ts recent
+   ```
+   Expect: `socket(...,33,...)` + subsequent `add_key("rxrpc",...)`.
+
+2. **Confirm via yara** — scan setuid binaries for the page-cache
+   overlay:
+   ```bash
+   yara /etc/yara/skeletonkey.yar /usr/bin/su /usr/bin/passwd
+   ```
+   If `dirtydecrypt_payload_overlay` matches `/usr/bin/su`, **the
+   exploit landed** — the binary's page cache has been overwritten
+   with the 120-byte shellcode.
+
+3. **Recover** — the on-disk binary is intact; only the page cache is
+   corrupted. Drop it:
+   ```bash
+   sudo skeletonkey --cleanup dirtydecrypt   # or: echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
+   ```
+
+4. **Sigma hunt for lateral / repeat** — query your SIEM with the
+   sigma rule ID `7c1e9a40-skeletonkey-dirtydecrypt` over the last 7
+   days to find any other hosts.
+
+5. **Patch.** DirtyDecrypt's mainline fix is commit `a2567217` in
+   Linux 7.0 — see [`CVES.md`](../CVES.md) for distro backports.
+
+6. **Harden.** `rxrpc` is rarely needed on non-AFS hosts:
+   ```bash
+   echo "blacklist rxrpc" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-rxrpc.conf
+   sudo update-initramfs -u
+   ```
+
+The same shape applies to every module: pick the auditd key, the
+yara rule for the artifact, the falco rule for the runtime signal,
+and the sigma rule for the hunt.
