Malware Config

Signatures

  • Contacts a large (61997) amount of remote hosts 1 TTPs

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

  • Creates a large amount of network flows 1 TTPs

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

  • Executes dropped EXE 1 IoCs
  • Creates/modifies Cron job 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Cron allows running tasks on a schedule, and is commonly used for malware persistence.

  • Enumerates running processes

    Discovers information about currently running processes on the system

  • Modifies init.d 2 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Adds/modifies system service, likely for persistence.

  • Modifies rc script 2 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Adding/modifying system rc scripts is a common persistence mechanism.

  • Modifies systemd 2 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Adds/ modifies systemd service files. Likely to achieve persistence.

  • Changes its process name 1 IoCs
  • Command and Scripting Interpreter: Unix Shell 1 TTPs 3 IoCs

    Execute scripts via Unix Shell.

  • Reads runtime system information 31 IoCs

    Reads data from /proc virtual filesystem.

  • Writes file to tmp directory 1 IoCs

    Malware often drops required files in the /tmp directory.
