Auditd : Add Audit Rules2019/09/28 |
It's possible to add your own Audit rules like follows.
|
|
[1] | For example, Configure Audit rule that records writing and attributes change for [/etc/hosts]. |
# display current rules (no rules by default like follows) [root@dlp ~]# auditctl -l No rules # -p [r|w|x|a] : specify target action for Audit # r=read, w=write, x=execute, a=attributes # -k [words] : set keys for searching logs [root@dlp ~]# auditctl -w /etc/hosts -p wa -k hosts_change [root@dlp ~]# auditctl -l -w /etc/hosts -p wa -k hosts_change |
[2] | When some actions are set and it is detected by new Audit rules, Audit logs are recorded like follows. |
[root@dlp ~]# ausearch -k hosts_change | aureport -f -i File Report =============================================== # date time file syscall success exe auid event =============================================== 1. 09/26/2019 21:02:54 /etc/hosts ? yes ? root 156 2. 09/26/2019 21:02:54 /etc/hosts~ rename yes /usr/bin/vi root 157 3. 09/26/2019 21:02:54 /etc/hosts openat yes /usr/bin/vi root 159 4. 09/26/2019 21:02:54 /etc/hosts ? yes ? root 158 5. 09/26/2019 21:02:54 /etc/hosts setxattr yes /usr/bin/vi root 160 6. 09/26/2019 21:02:54 (null) fchmod yes /usr/bin/vi root 161 7. 09/26/2019 21:02:54 /etc/hosts setxattr yes /usr/bin/vi root 162 |
[3] | Rules added by [auditctl] command are not kept after restarting System, so it needs to add them in a file under [/etc/audit/rules.d] if you'd like to keep persistently. It's OK to add rules to any file name you like under [/etc/audit/rules.d], but extension should be [.rules]. |
# output current rules to [additional.rules] [root@dlp ~]# auditctl -l >> /etc/audit/rules.d/additional.rules |
[4] | If you set a directory for Audit Target, all files are targeted recursively under the directory. |
# set Audit rule (reading) to [/home/testdir/] [root@dlp ~]# auditctl -w /home/testdir/ -p r -k testdir_audit [root@dlp ~]# auditctl -l -w /etc/hosts -p wa -k hosts_change -w /home/testdir -p r -k testdir_audit # logs are recorded like follows [root@dlp ~]# ausearch -k testdir_audit | aureport -f -i File Report =============================================== # date time file syscall success exe auid event =============================================== 1. 09/26/2019 22:07:21 /home/testdir/cent/testfile.txt openat yes /usr/bin/cat root 70 2. 09/26/2019 22:07:42 /home/testdir/cent/testfile.txt openat yes /usr/bin/vi root 77 3. 09/26/2019 22:07:42 /home/testdir/cent/testfile.txt openat yes /usr/bin/vi root 78 |
[5] | For exmaple, Set Audit rule that monitors files removed by users who has over UID 1000. By the way, for the option by [S] below, you can make sure all System Calls with [man syscalls], maybe after installing [dnf install man-pages]. |
[root@dlp ~]#
