Linux Doas Tool Execution — Sigma Rule

Sigma rule 067d8238-7127-451c-a9ec-fa78045b618b. Linux Doas Tool Execution — Sigma Rule. Detects the doas tool execution in linux host platform. This utility tool allow standard users to perform tasks as root, the same way sudo does.

Telemetry review

Read the original logsource above, then inspect the linked detection workspaces for technique-level sensor context. No per-rule telemetry equivalence is inferred.

Pinned research references. No browser attack runner or production-validated detector is asserted. Imported procedures remain unvalidated; any bounded lab evidence has its own scope. ATT&CK / Atomic provenance · Detection provenance.
