Hello Forum
I heard that Splunk together with OSquery can detect processes running without a binary on disk.
Can this OSquery be installed on the Splunkt-server in order to be able to query the clients to be monitored or is a local installation on every client required?
Can it be customized to alarm automatically when this case happend (processes running without a binary on disk)?
Thank you!
Bill
Hi @bill99
1.) From the looks of it, you will have to install OSquery components on each endpoint, you can't "just" run it centrally from Splunk
2.) With it running on each endpoint, you can easily create a scripted input which will execute on each UF to query OSquery for binaries as you state. Your script will then produce an output which can be indexed into Splunk via the UF, and configure alerts when the results meet your criteria.
It looks like you can also install an OSquery server and run your queries from there (rather than each endpoint), but you still need osquery components on each target workstation/server
