Malware Config

Signatures

  • Modifies the /etc/hosts DNS resolution file 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Modifying the /etc/hosts name-resolution file changes IP routing, which can facilitate traffic hijacking or the blocking of (security update) endpoints.

  • 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 8 IoCs

    Creating/modifying environment variables is a common persistence mechanism.

  • 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 init.d 2 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Adds/modifies system service, likely for persistence.

  • 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 8 IoCs
  • Reads process memory 1 TTPs 62 IoCs

    Read the memory of a process through the /proc virtual filesystem. This can be used to steal credentials.

  • Changes its process name 2 IoCs
  • Reads system network configuration 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Uses contents of /proc filesystem to enumerate network settings.

  • Enumerates kernel/hardware configuration 1 TTPs 64 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 6 IoCs

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