• Linux audit logs capture every system call at the kernel level.
• Check /var/log/audit/audit.log for the full command line history.
• EXECVE records show the exact arguments passed to bash or netcat.
• Use ausearch to filter by time or aureport for quick summaries.
• But check /etc/audit/audit[.]rules — many systems have zero coverage.
• No audit rules means attackers operate in the dark.
