Hi,
I would like to make a minor improvement to avoid false positives for
Behavioral_Reverse_Shell
query in osx-attacks pack. Certain build processes are spawned by IDEs such as Xcode which do not have any open files, but have an open socket that is not a network socket which results in remote_port being 0 and remote_address empty.In this PR, I basically add a check for
process_open_sockets.remote_port > 0
to avoid all possible false positives which do not indicate a reverse shell. We can confirm it's safe considering port0
is reserved and cannot be used for network sockets.
