detection rules: complete sigma/yara/falco coverage across the corpus
Three parallel research agents drafted 49 detection rules grounded in
each module's source + existing .opsec_notes string + existing .detect_auditd
counterpart. A one-shot tools/inject_rules.py wrote them into the
right files and replaced the .detect_<format> = NULL placeholders.
Coverage matrix (modules with each format / 31 total):
before after
auditd 30 / 31 30 / 31 (entrybleed skipped by design)
sigma 19 / 31 31 / 31 (+12 added)
yara 11 / 31 28 / 31 (+17 added; 3 documented skips)
falco 11 / 31 30 / 31 (+19 added; entrybleed skipped)
Documented skips (kept as .detect_<format> = NULL with comment):
- entrybleed: yara + falco + auditd. Pure timing side-channel via
rdtsc + prefetchnta; no syscalls, no file artifacts, no in-memory
tags. The source comment already noted this; sigma got a 'unusual
prefetchnta loop time' rule via perf-counter logic.
- ptrace_traceme: yara. Pure in-memory race; no on-disk artifacts
or persistent strings to match. Falco + sigma + auditd cover the
PTRACE_TRACEME + setuid execve syscall sequence.
- sudo_samedit: yara. Transient heap race during sudoedit invocation;
no persistent file artifact. Falco + sigma + auditd cover the
'sudoedit -s + trailing-backslash argv' pattern.
Rule discipline (post-agent QA):
- All rules ground claims in actual exploit code paths (the agents
were instructed to read source + opsec_notes; no fabricated syscalls
or strings).
- Two falco rules were narrowed by the agent to fire only when
proc.pname is skeletonkey itself; rewrote both to fire on any
non-root caller (otherwise we'd detect only our own binary, not
real attackers).
- Sigma rule fields use canonical {type: 'SYSCALL', syscall: 'X'}
detection blocks consistent with existing rules (nf_tables,
dirty_pipe, sudo_samedit).
- YARA rules prefer rare/unique tags (SKELETONKEYU, SKELETONKEY_FWD,
SKVMWGFX, /tmp/skeletonkey-*.log) over common bytes — minimizes
false positives.
- Every rule tagged with attack.privilege_escalation + cve.YYYY.NNNN;
cgroup_release_agent additionally tagged T1611 (container escape).
skeletonkey.c: --module-info text view now dumps yara + falco rule
bodies too (was auditd + sigma only). All 4 formats visible per module.
Verification:
- macOS local: clean build, 33 kernel_range tests pass.
- Linux (docker gcc:latest): 33 + 54 = 87 passes, 0 fails.
- --module-info nf_tables / af_unix_gc / etc.: 'detect rules:'
summary correctly shows all 4 formats and the bodies print.
