Linux EDR techniques¶

Linux EDR is that stoic, bearded sysadmin who seems chill until you try to run curl | bash. Then? Total meltdown.

• Techniques it loves: Staring into /proc like a psychic reading /dev/random, and treating sudo escalations like a personal betrayal.

• False positives: When it freaks out over a cron job (“Why is root running something at 3 AM??” …Oh, it’s just log rotation. Again.).

• Real-world translation: “I don’t always detect threats, but when I do, they’re either 1) actually harmless or 2) already root.”
