D3-OSM Operating System Monitoring
- Tactic
- Detect
Definition
The operating system software, for D3FEND's purposes, includes the kernel and its process management functions, hardware drivers, initialization or boot logic. It also includes and other key system daemons and their configuration. The monitoring or analysis of these components for unauthorized activity constitute **Operating System Monitoring**.
How it works
Technique Overview
"An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware and software resources and provides common services for computer programs." [1]
Operating System Monitoring Techniques have varied implementations including built-in kernel modules, third-party privileged system daemons, or even standard systems administration tools included with an operating system.
