Malware Config

Signatures

  • Adds new SSH keys 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Linux special file to hold SSH keys. The threat actor may add new keys for further remote access.

  • Creates/modifies Cron job 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

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

  • Creates/modifies environment variables 1 TTPs 2 IoCs

    Creating/modifying environment variables is a common persistence mechanism.

  • Enumerates running processes

    Discovers information about currently running processes on the system

  • Modifies systemd 2 TTPs 2 IoCs

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

  • Removes the immutable protection flag from a file 1 TTPs 5 IoCs

    Uses chattr to remove the immutable flag from a file, allowing previously write-protected files to be modified or deleted.

  • Modifies Bash startup script 2 TTPs 2 IoCs
  • Changes its process name 1 IoCs
  • Reads CPU attributes 1 TTPs 1 IoCs
  • Reads system network configuration 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Uses contents of /proc filesystem to enumerate network settings.

  • Command and Scripting Interpreter: Unix Shell 1 TTPs 10 IoCs

    Execute scripts via Unix Shell.

  • 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 1 IoCs

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