Malware Config

Signatures

  • File and Directory Permissions Modification 1 TTPs 2 IoCs

    Adversaries may modify file or directory permissions to evade defenses.

  • Executes dropped EXE 1 IoCs
  • Loads a kernel module 1 IoCs

    Loads a Linux kernel module, potentially to achieve persistence

  • Enumerates running processes

    Discovers information about currently running processes on the system

  • Write file to user bin folder 1 IoCs
  • Checks CPU configuration 1 TTPs 2 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 2 IoCs

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

  • Reads runtime system information 64 IoCs

    Reads data from /proc virtual filesystem.

  • Writes file to tmp directory 4 IoCs

    Malware often drops required files in the /tmp directory.
