Malware Config

Signatures

  • Renames itself 1 IoCs
  • Checks hardware identifiers (DMI) 1 TTPs 2 IoCs

    Checks DMI information which indicate if the system is a virtual machine.

  • 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

  • Reads MAC address of network interface 2 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Fetches the MAC address of active network interfaces. May be used to detect known values for hypervisors.

  • Reads hardware information 1 TTPs 4 IoCs

    Accesses system info like serial numbers, manufacturer names etc.

  • Checks CPU configuration 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Checks CPU information which indicate if the system is a virtual machine.

  • Reads CPU attributes 1 TTPs 1 IoCs
  • Enumerates kernel/hardware configuration 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Reads contents of /sys virtual filesystem to enumerate system information.

  • Reads runtime system information 64 IoCs

    Reads data from /proc virtual filesystem.

  • System Network Configuration Discovery 1 TTPs 2 IoCs

    Adversaries may gather information about the network configuration of a system.

  • Writes file to tmp directory 1 IoCs

    Malware often drops required files in the /tmp directory.
