Signatures

  • Creates a file in the Startup directory 1 TTPs 2 IoCs

    A file was written to a Windows startup folder. Files in these directories are executed automatically when a user logs on or an application initializes.

  • Drops file in System32 directory 2 IoCs
  • Executes a command shell one-liner 1 TTPs 6 IoCs

    Execution of a cmd.exe one-liner (/c "close" or /k "keep") is a common script/loader stage.

  • Reads the TCP/IP host and domain name from the registry 1 TTPs 10 IoCs

    The configured hostname and DNS domain identify the machine and are commonly collected to profile a host before it reports in.

  • Checks processor information in registry 2 TTPs 2 IoCs

    Processor information is often read in order to detect sandboxing environments.

  • Delays execution with timeout.exe 5 IoCs
  • Modifies data under HKEY_USERS 7 IoCs
  • Suspicious behavior: EnumeratesProcesses 20 IoCs
  • Suspicious use of AdjustPrivilegeToken 64 IoCs
  • Suspicious use of SetWindowsHookEx 1 IoCs
