Detect and analyze Linux persistence mechanisms including crontab entries,.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Analyzing Persistence Mechanisms in Linux ## Overview Adversaries establish persistence on Linux systems through crontab jobs, systemd service/timer units, LD_PRELOAD library injection, shell profile modifications (.bashrc, .profile), SSH authorized_keys backdoors, and init script manipulation. This skill scans for all known persistence vectors, checks file timestamps and integrity, and correlates findings with auditd logs to build a timeline of persistence installation. ## When to Use - When investigating security incidents that require analyzing persistence mechanisms in linux - When building detection rules or threat hunting queries for this domain - When SOC analysts need structured procedures for this analysis type - When validating security monitoring coverage for related attack techniques ## Prerequisites - Root or sudo access on target Linux system (or forensic image) - auditd configured with file watch rules on persistence paths - Python 3.8+ with standard library (os, subprocess, json) - Optional: OSSEC/Wazuh agent for file integrity monitoring alerts ## Steps …

How to install
mdr add adriannoes/awesome-agentic-ai/analyzing-persistence-mechanisms-in-linux@sha256:7d4dcb2126ece0bcThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
