Detects the potential abuse of the Linux Magic SysRq (System Request) key by adversaries with root or sufficient privileges
to silently manipulate or destabilize a system. By writing to /proc/sysrq-trigger, they can crash the system, kill processes,
or disrupt forensic analysis—all while bypassing standard logging. Though intended for recovery and debugging, SysRq can be
misused as a stealthy post-exploitation tool. It is controlled via /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq or permanently through /etc/sysctl.conf.

Detects usage of the `mknod` syscall to create special files (e.g., character or block devices).
Attackers or malware might use `mknod` to create fake devices, interact with kernel interfaces,
or establish covert channels in Linux systems.
Monitoring the use of `mknod` is important because this syscall is rarely used by legitimate applications,
and it can be abused to bypass file system restrictions or create backdoors.
