Malware Config

Signatures

  • Traces remote process 64 IoCs
  • Modifies Watchdog functionality 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Malware like Mirai modifies the Watchdog to prevent it restarting an infected system.

  • 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 4 IoCs

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

  • 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 systemd 2 TTPs 2 IoCs

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

  • Changes its process name 6 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 1 IoCs

    Uses contents of /proc filesystem to enumerate network settings.

  • Reads runtime system information 64 IoCs

    Reads data from /proc virtual filesystem.

  • System Network Configuration Discovery 1 TTPs 3 IoCs

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

  • Writes file to tmp directory 4 IoCs

    Malware often drops required files in the /tmp directory.
