Malware Config

Signatures

  • 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 1 IoCs

    Creating/modifying environment variables is a common persistence mechanism.

  • Modifies rc script 2 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Adding/modifying system rc scripts is a common persistence mechanism.

  • Modifies systemd 2 TTPs 1 IoCs

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

  • Modifies Bash startup script 2 TTPs 1 IoCs
  • Reads runtime system information 14 IoCs

    Reads data from /proc virtual filesystem.

  • Writes file to tmp directory 2 IoCs

    Malware often drops required files in the /tmp directory.
