network.detectors
Class NewRootProcessEventDetector

java.lang.Object
  network.detectors.EventDetector
      network.detectors.NewRootProcessEventDetector

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Runnable, java.io.Serializable

public class NewRootProcessEventDetector

extends EventDetector

implements java.io.Serializable

Checks for processes running as 'root' If found, new event will be generated, and the event handler will take appropriate action, eg: launching further agents to monitor critical resources.

Constructor Detail

NewRootProcessEventDetector

public NewRootProcessEventDetector(ConfigObject configObj)

Method Detail

getGeneratingEventClassName

public java.lang.String getGeneratingEventClassName()

Returns the event that this detector creates

Specified by:

getGeneratingEventClassName in class EventDetector

Returns:

A String containing the name of the event that this detector creates

processNewRootProcessEvent

public java.util.Vector processNewRootProcessEvent(NewProcessEvent event)

Determines if a new process is being run by root. Checks to see if the UID or GID of the new process is equal to 0

Parameters:

event - The event to check

Returns:

A Vector of events. If the new process is being run by root, the vector will have one element of type NewRootProcessEvent. If not, an empty vector is returned

generateEvent

public java.util.Vector generateEvent(Event triggeringEvent)

Checks to see if the given event is one of the default triggering events of this detector, then calls processNewRootProcessEvent with the event.

Specified by:

generateEvent in class EventDetector

Parameters:

triggeringEvent - The event that triggers this detector

Returns:

If triggering event is not an instance of the defaultTrggeringEvent, returns null. Otherwise returns the value of processNewRootProcessEvent
