10Identifies Linux binary crash abuse to break out from restricted environments by spawning an interactive system shell.
11The crash utility helps analyze Linux crash dump data or a live system and the activity of spawning a shell is not a
12standard use of this binary by a user or system administrator. It indicates a potentially malicious actor attempting to
13improve the capabilities or stability of their access.
