AN0181 Analytic 0181
Linux

Execution of processes using nohup or shell redirection to ignore SIGHUP and continue running after session termination. Defender perspective: correlation between commands including nohup, disowned jobs, or `&` suffix with continued process execution after parent terminal exit.

auditd:SYSCALL execve call including 'nohup' or trailing '&' auditd:SYSCALL process persists beyond parent shell termination
[IgnoredSignals] Specific signals to monitor (e.g., SIGHUP, SIGINT) depending on environment baseline.
[ProcessLifetimeThreshold] Duration a process continues running after session logout, adjustable to reduce noise from benign long-lived jobs.
AN0182 Analytic 0182
Windows

PowerShell or script execution with parameters that suppress errors or ignore user interrupts, such as `-ErrorAction SilentlyContinue`. Defender perspective: detecting discrepancies between suppressed error arguments and continued execution behavior.

WinEventLog:PowerShell EventCode=4103, 4104, 4105, 4106 WinEventLog:Sysmon EventCode=1
[MonitoredCmdlets] List of PowerShell cmdlets where suppressed error handling is suspicious (e.g., Invoke-Expression, Invoke-WebRequest).
[ErrorActionThreshold] Frequency of suppressed error actions within time window that should trigger detection.
AN0183 Analytic 0183
macOS

Use of nohup, disown, or AppleScript constructs to suppress process interrupts. Defender perspective: commands containing nohup or hidden background tasks (`osascript` with persistent execution) correlated with processes surviving user logouts.

macos:unifiedlog nohup, disown, or osascript execution patterns macos:unifiedlog background process persists beyond user logout
[WatchedShells] Shells or interpreters where nohup/disown usage is suspicious, configurable to environment.
[PersistenceCorrelationWindow] Time window to correlate process continuation after logout with suspicious commands.
