About osquery
osquery is an operating system instrumentation framework for Windows, OS X (macOS), and Linux. The tools make low-level operating system analytics and monitoring both performant and intuitive. Frequently, attackers will leave a malicious process running but delete the original binary on disk. This query returns any process whose original binary has been deleted, which could be an indicator of a suspicious process. Our build infrastructure ensures that newly introduced code is benchmarked and tested. We perform continuous testing for memory leaks, thread safety, and binary reproducibility on all supported platforms.
