Malware Config

Signatures

  • Deletes itself 1 IoCs
  • Deletes journal logs 1 TTPs 3 IoCs

    Deletes systemd journal logs. Likely to evade detection.

  • 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.

  • Deletes log files 1 TTPs 4 IoCs

    Deletes log files on the system.

  • 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 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.

  • Changes its process name 10 IoCs
  • Checks CPU configuration 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Checks CPU information which indicate if the system is a virtual machine.

  • Reads system network configuration 1 TTPs 2 IoCs

    Uses contents of /proc filesystem to enumerate network settings.

  • Reads runtime system information 64 IoCs

    Reads data from /proc virtual filesystem.
