Malware Config

Signatures

  • Family: xmrig

    XMRig is a high performance, open source, cross platform CPU/GPU miner.

  • XMRig Miner payload 1 IoCs
  • File and Directory Permissions Modification 1 TTPs 2 IoCs

    Adversaries may modify file or directory permissions to evade defenses.

  • Executes dropped EXE 1 IoCs
  • Checks hardware identifiers (DMI) 1 TTPs 4 IoCs

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

  • Creates/modifies Cron job 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

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

  • Enumerates running processes

    Discovers information about currently running processes on the system

  • Modifies rc script 2 TTPs 2 IoCs

    Adding/modifying system rc scripts is a common persistence mechanism.

  • Reads hardware information 1 TTPs 14 IoCs

    Accesses system info like serial numbers, manufacturer names etc.

  • UPX packed file 1 IoCs

    Detects executables packed with UPX/modified UPX open source packer.

  • Checks CPU configuration 1 TTPs 3 IoCs

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

  • Reads CPU attributes 1 TTPs 47 IoCs
  • Reads system network configuration 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Uses contents of /proc filesystem to enumerate network settings.

  • Enumerates kernel/hardware configuration 1 TTPs 25 IoCs

    Reads contents of /sys virtual filesystem to enumerate system information.

  • Reads runtime system information 64 IoCs

    Reads data from /proc virtual filesystem.

  • Writes file to tmp directory 3 IoCs

    Malware often drops required files in the /tmp directory.
