Malware Config

Signatures

  • Identifies hardware specifics through system_profiler 2 IoCs
  • Prompts the user for their password using a hidden input dialog 1 TTPs 2 IoCs

    Adversaries may mimic a system prompt to capture a user's password through a GUI dialog with masked input.

  • AppleScript 1 TTPs 2 IoCs

    AppleScript is a macOS scripting language designed to control applications and parts of the OS via inter-application messages called AppleEvents.

  • Checks the status of system security protections 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

    System utilities were executed to query the status of System Integrity Protection or FileVault encryption. This can be abused to discover local security settings.

  • Resource Forking 1 TTPs 2 IoCs

    Adversaries may abuse resource forks to hide malicious code or executables to evade detection and bypass security applications. A resource fork provides applications a structured way to store resources such as thumbnail images, menu definitions, icons, dialog boxes, and code.
