What problem does it solve?

Linux administrators and security teams spend significant time parsing Linux Audit (auditd) logs to detect unauthorized access, privilege escalation, and attacker activity. This Skill provides structured analysis workflows, rule-based querying, and automated detections to accelerate incident response.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Parse and interpret auditd events from /var/log/audit/audit.log to identify risky system calls, file accesses to sensitive paths, and suspicious command usage.
• Reconstruct attacker timelines and support SIEM integration for centralized visibility.
• Generate concise findings and summaries to guide containment and remediation.

Quick Start

Run the Linux audit log intrusion detection agent against your audit.log to start generating findings.
