Linux Detection Engineering - Fileless Execution
Elastic Security Labs reproduces five Linux fileless execution patterns, including memfd_create staging and in-memory kernel module loads, and maps each to Elastic Defend rules.
Elastic Security Labs reproduced five Linux fileless execution patterns using its FENIX tooling: memfd_create staging, interpreter one-liners, deleted binaries, and in-memory kernel module loads. Each pattern is mapped to the Elastic Defend detection rules that catch it. The post is part of the team's ongoing Linux detection engineering series.

We reproduced five Linux fileless execution patterns with FENIX, including memfd_create staging, interpreter one-liners, deleted binaries, and in-memory kernel module loads, then mapped each to the Elastic Defend rules that catch it.
