Malware Config

Signatures

  • Contacts a large (10487) amount of remote hosts 1 TTPs

    This may indicate a network scan to discover remotely running services.

  • Modifies the Watchdog daemon 1 TTPs

    Malware like Mirai modify the Watchdog to prevent it restarting an infected system.

  • Writes file to system bin folder 1 TTPs 2 IoCs
  • Modifies hosts file 1 IoCs

    Adds to hosts file used for mapping hosts to IP addresses.

  • Writes DNS configuration 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Writes data to DNS resolver config file.

  • Enumerates active TCP sockets 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Gets active TCP sockets from /proc virtual filesystem.

  • Modifies init.d 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Adds/modifies system service, likely for persistence.

  • Reads system routing table 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Gets active network interfaces from /proc virtual filesystem.

  • Creates a large amount of network flows 1 TTPs

    This may indicate a network scan to discover remotely running services.

  • Looks up external IP address via web service 2 IoCs

    Uses a legitimate IP lookup service to find the infected system's external IP.

  • Reads system network configuration 1 TTPs 3 IoCs

    Uses contents of /proc filesystem to enumerate network settings.

  • Reads runtime system information 2 IoCs

    Reads data from /proc virtual filesystem.

  • Writes file to tmp directory 1 IoCs

    Malware often drops required files in the /tmp directory.
