Malware Config

Signatures

  • Deletes itself 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 2 IoCs

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

  • 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.

  • Changes its process name 2 IoCs
  • Checks CPU configuration 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

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

  • Reads runtime system information 15 IoCs

    Reads data from /proc virtual filesystem.

  • System Network Configuration Discovery 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

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

  • Writes file to tmp directory 2 IoCs

    Malware often drops required files in the /tmp directory.
