  • Dcrat family
  • Modifies WinLogon for persistence 2 TTPs 9 IoCs
  • Process spawned unexpected child process 27 IoCs

    This typically indicates the parent process was compromised via an exploit or macro.

  • DCRat payload 2 IoCs

    Detects payload of DCRat, commonly dropped by NSIS installers.

  • Checks computer location settings 2 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Looks up country code configured in the registry, likely geofence.

  • Executes dropped EXE 1 IoCs
  • Adds Run key to start application 2 TTPs 18 IoCs
  • Drops file in Program Files directory 7 IoCs
  • Enumerates physical storage devices 1 TTPs

    Attempts to interact with connected storage/optical drive(s).

  • Modifies registry class 1 IoCs
  • Scheduled Task/Job: Scheduled Task 1 TTPs 27 IoCs

    Schtasks is often used by malware for persistence or to perform post-infection execution.

  • Suspicious behavior: EnumeratesProcesses 12 IoCs
  • Suspicious use of AdjustPrivilegeToken 2 IoCs
  • Suspicious use of WriteProcessMemory 6 IoCs
  • Uses Task Scheduler COM API 1 TTPs

    The Task Scheduler COM API can be used to schedule applications to run on boot or at set times.
