This rule detects the creation or renaming of a new Systemd override configuration file in any of the Systemd service locations for both root and regular users. Systemd override configuration files are configuration files in Linux systems used to override the default Systemd service configuration for a specific service. Malicious actors can leverage systemd override configuration files to achieve persistence by creating or modifying services to execute malicious commands or payloads during system startup or at a predefined interval by adding a systemd timer. This allows them to maintain unauthorized access, execute additional malicious activities, or evade detection.
