These days, there has been a sharp increase in the number of cyber-attacks on Linux systems. This is primarily due to the widespread use of Linux servers in WEB (as of March 2024, about 41.7% of WEB servers are running Linux). Traditional methods for detecting malicious activity are often ineffective at the initial access stage, as attackers use new techniques and exploit zero-day vulnerabilities. That is why now, more than ever, the task of developing a technique that focuses on detecting malicious activity at the initial stages of an attack is becoming urgent.
