# Tune out stock-rule false positives observed on this specific host, so the # broad netdata "any Falco match" alarm only pages for things worth paging # for. Uses Falco's own user_* customization macros rather than disabling # whole rules, so the underlying security check stays active for everything # else. Add entries here as new noisy defaults turn up - don't let this list # grow into blinding Falco to anything actually meaningful. # "Sensitive file opened for reading by non-trusted program" false-positives: # - pg_isready: fired every ~10s from inbox-zero-db's healthcheck touching # /etc/shadow - NSS/libc user-lookup behavior during process init, not # credential harvesting. # - lscr.io/linuxserver/obsidian: fires once per container start from # `sed -i s/CORRUPT_FILE/NOPASSWD/g /etc/sudoers` - linuxserver.io's # own s6-init NOPASSWD setup, same class of init-time file touch. - macro: user_known_read_sensitive_files_activities condition: > (proc.name = pg_isready) or (container.image.repository = "lscr.io/linuxserver/obsidian" and proc.name = sed) # "Fileless execution via memfd_create" fires from nvidia-ctk's # ldconfig-refresh hook, which runs via memfd_create by design every time # an NVIDIA-GPU container (e.g. ollama) starts - normal container-toolkit # behavior, not defense evasion. Scoped to the hook's own parent process # names rather than the ollama/ollama image, so drift detection stays live # for anything else that image does. - macro: known_memfd_execution_processes condition: (proc.pname in (nvidia-containe, nvidia-ctk)) # "Drop and execute new binary in container" (output text: "Executing binary # not part of base image") false-positives on three known-benign sources, # all confirmed via docker logs falco (2026-08-08 to 2026-08-16): # - gitea: re-executes itself for git-shell commands (serv/hook/pre-receive/ # post-receive) over SSH, which looks identical to a dropped binary. # Scoped to proc.name=gitea, not the whole container, so this # previously-compromised container still gets checked for any OTHER # unexpected binary. # - lscr.io/linuxserver/obsidian: Electron's normal /proc/self/exe # self-re-exec pattern (zygote/renderer/utility processes), fires ~6x # every time the container is recreated (~daily, likely watchtower). # Scoped to the whole image since this is normal Electron startup # behavior end to end, not one specific binary. # - tsl0922/ttyd (Synchronet BBS web terminal): telnet/pv/busybox-extras # installed via apk at container start and then used for the BBS's # normal telnet workflow. Scoped to those three binaries, not the image, # since this is a shell-access container where an unexpected binary is # more worth knowing about. - macro: known_drop_and_execute_activities condition: > (container.image.repository = "docker.gitea.com/gitea" and proc.name = gitea) or (container.image.repository = "lscr.io/linuxserver/obsidian") or (container.image.repository = "tsl0922/ttyd" and proc.name in (telnet, pv, busybox-extras))
