Organizations leverage many different cybersecurity and observability tools for different departments. It’s common to see the IT department using Splunk Enterprise, while the SOC uses Exabeam. Both of these tools use separate agents, each feeding different data to their destinations. Normally this isn’t a problem unless you’re talking about domain controllers. Domain controllers only allow a single agent, meaning you can’t feed two platforms with data.
With 2021 seeing 5.1 billion records breached and an annual increase in attacks at 11%, the risk of security incidents is only getting greater every year. And when an attack hits, the cost to recover, which includes fines, penalties, legal fees, and much more, are also great.

This is the second blog post in a short series about processes on UNIX-like systems. It is a followup to the previous post which focused on basic definitions, creation of processes and relations between them. This time we analyze the semantics of two closely related system calls that play major roles in process creation and program execution.
