Windows

Enumeration of services via native CLI tools (e.g., `sc query`, `tasklist /svc`, `net start`) or API calls via PowerShell and WMI.

WinEventLog:Security EventCode=4688 WinEventLog:PowerShell EventCode=4103, 4104, 4105, 4106
[ProcessName] Can be tuned to specific binaries used for service enumeration (e.g., `sc.exe`, `tasklist.exe`).
[CommandLineMatch] Filters for variations like `sc query`, `net start`, `Get-Service`.
[ParentProcess] Used to suppress known admin scripts or automation jobs.
AN1326 Analytic 1326
Linux

Execution of service management commands like `systemctl list-units`, `service --status-all`, or direct reading of `/etc/init.d`.

auditd:EXECVE execve
[CommandPattern] Includes service enumeration commands like `systemctl`, `service`, or custom scripts.
[ExecutionUser] Tunable by user context (e.g., root vs. standard user).
[TimeWindow] Used for correlation with privilege escalation or lateral movement.
AN1327 Analytic 1327
macOS

Discovery via launchctl commands, or process enumeration using `ps aux | grep com.apple.` to identify daemons and services.

macos:unifiedlog None macos:osquery process_events
[CommandLineContent] Tune to recognize `launchctl list`, `launchctl print`, or service grep strings.
[ProcessParent] Filter known benign automation or MDM agent invocations.
