  • Launch Agent 1 TTPs

    Adversaries may create or modify launch agents to repeatedly execute malicious payloads as part of persistence.

  • Resource Forking 1 TTPs 3 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.

  • Launchctl 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Adversaries may abuse launchctl to execute commands or programs. Launchctl supports taking subcommands on the command-line, interactively, or even redirected from standard input.
