NAME¶
autrace - a program similar to strace
SYNOPSIS¶
autrace program [-r] [program-args]...
DESCRIPTION¶
autrace is a program that will add the audit rules to trace a process
similar to strace. It will then execute the program passing
arguments to it. The resulting audit information will be in the audit
logs if the audit daemon is running or syslog. This command deletes all audit
rules prior to executing the target program and after executing it. As a
safety precaution, it will not run unless all rules are deleted with
auditctl prior to use.
OPTIONS¶
- -r
- Limit syscalls collected to ones needed for analyzing resource usage. This
could help people doing threat modeling. This saves space in logs.
EXAMPLES¶
The following illustrates a typical session:
autrace /bin/ls /tmp
ausearch --start recent -p 2442 -i
and for resource usage mode:
autrace -r /bin/ls
ausearch --start recent -p 2450 --raw | aureport --file --summary
ausearch --start recent -p 2450 --raw | aureport --host --summary
