First-60-120-minute DFIR triage for a suspected-compromised Linux host or Kubernetes node - volatile capture, session forensics, persistence and webshell sweeps, and the rebuild-versus-investigate decision.

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

> **Adaptation note (this module remaps the fixed skill headings):** *What To Check* = the ordered triage sequence steps. *Where To Look* = artifact paths on disk. *Patterns & Signatures* = indicator shapes (webshell greps, deleted-exe signatures, suspicious-line examples). *Taint Tracing Guidance* = lateral-movement reading (which artifact implicates which next hop). *Exploitation & Reproduction* = TABLETOP walkthrough procedures on an owned, isolated lab host - explicitly never production. *Remediation* = eradication/rebuild actions. *Severity Assessment* = incident-impact classification aid, not CVSS scoring.

## Scope & Objectives

Apply this module to: suspicious ubuntu/fedora servers, bare-metal or cloud VMs, Kubernetes nodes, and hosts running internet-facing python/rust services behind cloudflare tunnels (cloudflared). Assume no EDR, no preinstalled forensics tooling, SSH access as an admin, and a small team with one responder on the keyboard.

Objectives, in order:

1. Preserve volatile evidence to an EXTERNAL collector before anything mutates the host.
2. Prove or disprove compromise within 60-120 minutes with concrete indicators.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add as-foss/aegis-skills/aegis-dfir-triage-linux@sha256:aade8e90e3c59b45

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260826.9702747, 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.
