From a0b3523d419385ca26a3040fd1caccc866a76088 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: cschantz Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2026 01:46:38 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ADD: Comprehensive password and user change tracking MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit User request: "what about checking for recent password changes, or users created, or like password or group file updates" NEW FEATURES: 1. check_recent_password_changes() - Tracks password changes in last 7 days (using /etc/shadow) - Shows which accounts had passwords changed - Higher risk if root password changed recently - Detects recently unlocked accounts 2. check_recent_user_changes() - Detects users created in last 7 days (based on UID sequence + home dir age) - Shows user age in days - Tracks sudo/wheel group membership changes - Flags if sudo group modified in last 24 hours 3. Enhanced system file tampering detection: - Added /etc/group modification tracking - Added /etc/gshadow modification tracking - Shows exact hours since modification (not just "recently") - Tracks: /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group, /etc/gshadow 4. Root password status display (ALWAYS shown): - Shows last root password change date - Shows days since last change - Warns if changed TODAY or within 7 days - Warns if not changed in over a year - Example: "Last password change: 2025-12-13 (52 days ago)" DETECTION EXAMPLES: If password changed recently: ⚠️ Recent-Password-Changes: 3-accounts Changed-passwords: user1,user2,root Risk: +35 (root) or +15 (other users) If users created recently: ⚠️ Recently-Created-Users: testuser(2d) hacker(5d) Risk: +25 If sudo group modified: ⚠️ Sudo-Group-Modified-Recently: members=root,admin,newuser Risk: +30 If system files modified: ⚠️ /etc/passwd-Modified-5h-ago ⚠️ /etc/shadow-Modified-5h-ago ⚠️ /etc/group-Modified-3h-ago Total Checks: 9 → 11 comprehensive integrity checks - Added: Password changes - Added: User/group changes - Enhanced: System file tampering (now tracks 4 files + timestamps) Output Enhancement: - Root password age always displayed at top of compromise detection - Clear warnings for suspicious timing (changed today, changed recently) - Detailed findings show WHO changed and WHEN Impact: - Can now detect privilege escalation via user creation - Can detect password changes during attack - Can detect group membership manipulation - Shows full audit trail of account changes Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 --- modules/security/suspicious-login-monitor.sh | 193 ++++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 171 insertions(+), 22 deletions(-) diff --git a/modules/security/suspicious-login-monitor.sh b/modules/security/suspicious-login-monitor.sh index f4c2ea5..985b884 100755 --- a/modules/security/suspicious-login-monitor.sh +++ b/modules/security/suspicious-login-monitor.sh @@ -950,6 +950,109 @@ correlate_with_threat_intel() { # COMPROMISE DETECTION - Check for actual root compromise indicators # +check_recent_password_changes() { + echo " Checking for recent password changes..." >&2 + + local findings="" + local risk=0 + local details="" + + # Check for password changes in last 7 days (using chage) + # Password change date is stored in /etc/shadow field 3 (days since epoch) + local recent_pw_changes=$(awk -F: -v cutoff=$(( $(date +%s) / 86400 - 7 )) ' + $3 != "" && $3 !~ /^!/ && $3 > cutoff { + # Field 3 = last password change (days since 1970-01-01) + print $1 ":" $3 + } + ' /etc/shadow 2>/dev/null) + + if [ -n "$recent_pw_changes" ];
