RCLocals

Inspired by 'Autoruns' from Sysinternals, RCLocals analyzes all Linux startup possibilities to find backdoors, also performs process integrity verification, scan for DLL injected processes and much more

Things covered:

·List GPG keys trusted by the system

·Installed Packages

·File integrity

·Process integrity (process and libraries loaded in a process that not belongs to any installed package)

·Processes with name spoofed (processes that use prctl() to change their name in /bin/ps)

·CRON entries

·RC files

·X system startup files

·Active Systemd Units

·Systemd Timer Units

·tmpfiles.d

·linger users

·Rogue namespaces

·Hashing binaries and libs + searching in CYMRU malware hash registry https://team-cymru.com/community-services/mhr/

REQUIREMENTS

Debian/Ubuntu and derivatives: install debsums # apt-get install debsums

All platforms: pay attention to non default Python modules (colorama and DNS)

USAGE

Basic scan (only suspicious findings)

python3 rclocals.py --triage

Full detailed scan (all information)

python3 rclocals.py --all

Run specific tests (individual modules):

python3 rclocals.py --test <test_name>

Available individual tests:

TestGPG - Check GPG keys and signatures

TestPackages - Verify installed packages integrity

TestFileInt - Check file and process integrity

TestSpoofed - Detect processes with spoofed names

TestCron - Analyze cron entries and jobs

TestRC - Check system and user RC files

TestX - Examine X system startup files

TestSystemd - Inspect systemd units and timers

TestTMP - Check tmpfiles.d configurations

TestHash - Hash and verify critical binaries

TestMount - Detect processes with private mounts

Examples:

python3 rclocals.py --test TestCron

python3 rclocals.py --test TestHash
