Malware Config

Signatures

  • File and Directory Permissions Modification 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Adversaries may modify file or directory permissions to evade defenses.

  • Deletes itself 1 IoCs
  • Executes dropped EXE 1 IoCs
  • Modifies Watchdog functionality 1 TTPs 2 IoCs

    Malware like Mirai modifies the Watchdog to prevent it restarting an infected system.

  • Creates/modifies Cron job 1 TTPs 2 IoCs

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

  • Enumerates active TCP sockets 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Gets active TCP sockets from /proc virtual filesystem.

  • Enumerates running processes

    Discovers information about currently running processes on the system

  • Modifies systemd 2 TTPs 1 IoCs

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

  • 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.

  • UPX packed file 1 IoCs

    Detects executables packed with UPX/modified UPX open source packer.

  • Changes its process name 1 IoCs
  • Checks CPU configuration 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

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

  • 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 3 IoCs

    Execute scripts via Unix Shell.

  • Enumerates kernel/hardware configuration 1 TTPs 3 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 2 IoCs

    Malware often drops required files in the /tmp directory.
