-
Launch Agent 1 TTPs
Adversaries may create or modify launch agents to repeatedly execute malicious payloads as part of persistence.
-
Launch Daemon 1 TTPs
Adversaries may create or modify Launch Daemons to execute malicious payloads as part of persistence. Launch Daemons are plist files used to interact with Launchd, the service management framework used by macOS.

AppleScript 1 TTPs 8 IoCs
AppleScript is a macOS scripting language designed to control applications and parts of the OS via inter-application messages called AppleEvents.

Resource Forking 1 TTPs 2 IoCs
Adversaries may abuse resource forks to hide malicious code or executables to evade detection and bypass security applications. A resource fork provides applications a structured way to store resources such as thumbnail images, menu definitions, icons, dialog boxes, and code.

Launchctl 1 TTPs 16 IoCs
Adversaries may abuse launchctl to execute commands or programs. Launchctl supports taking subcommands on the command-line, interactively, or even redirected from standard input.
