Classe: Email-Worm
Email-Worms espalhado via email. O worm envia uma cópia de si mesmo como um anexo a uma mensagem de e-mail ou um link para seu arquivo em um recurso de rede (por exemplo, um URL para um arquivo infectado em um site comprometido ou um site de propriedade de hackers). No primeiro caso, o código do worm é ativado quando o anexo infectado é aberto (ativado). No segundo caso, o código é ativado quando o link para o arquivo infectado é aberto. Em ambos os casos, o resultado é o mesmo: o código do worm é ativado. Os worms de email usam uma variedade de métodos para enviar emails infectados. Os mais comuns são: usar uma conexão direta com um servidor SMTP usando o diretório de e-mail embutido no código do worm usando os serviços do MS Outlook usando as funções do Windows MAPI. Os worms de e-mail usam várias fontes diferentes para encontrar endereços de e-mail para os quais os e-mails infectados serão enviados: o catálogo de endereços do MS Outlook, um banco de dados de endereços WAB .txt armazenado no disco rígido: o worm pode identificar quais strings são e-mails de endereços de e-mail na caixa de entrada (alguns worms de e-mail até mesmo “respondem” a e-mails encontrados na caixa de entrada) Muitos worms de e-mail usam mais de uma das fontes listadas acima. Há também outras fontes de endereços de e-mail, como catálogos de endereços associados a serviços de e-mail baseados na web.Plataforma: Win32
O Win32 é uma API em sistemas operacionais baseados no Windows NT (Windows XP, Windows 7, etc.) que oferece suporte à execução de aplicativos de 32 bits. Uma das plataformas de programação mais difundidas do mundo.Família: Email-Worm.Win32.Bagle

Tactics and Techniques: Mitre*
TA0003
Persistence
The adversary is trying to maintain their foothold. Persistence consists of techniques that adversaries use to keep access to systems across restarts, changed credentials, and other interruptions that could cut off their access. Techniques used for persistence include any access, action, or configuration changes that let them maintain their foothold on systems, such as replacing or hijacking legitimate code or adding startup code.
T1547.001
Registry Run Keys / Startup Folder
Adversaries may achieve persistence by adding a program to a startup folder or referencing it with a Registry run key. Adding an entry to the "run keys" in the Registry or startup folder will cause the program referenced to be executed when a user logs in. These programs will be executed under the context of the user and will have the account's associated permissions level.
TA0004
Privilege Escalation
The adversary is trying to gain higher-level permissions. Privilege Escalation consists of techniques that adversaries use to gain higher-level permissions on a system or network. Adversaries can often enter and explore a network with unprivileged access but require elevated permissions to follow through on their objectives. Common approaches are to take advantage of system weaknesses, misconfigurations, and vulnerabilities. Examples of elevated access include: SYSTEM/root level, local administrator, user account with admin-like access, user accounts with access to specific system or perform specific function. These techniques often overlap with Persistence techniques, as OS features that let an adversary persist can execute in an elevated context.
T1134
Access Token Manipulation
Adversaries may modify access tokens to operate under a different user or system security context to perform actions and bypass access controls. Windows uses access tokens to determine the ownership of a running process. A user can manipulate access tokens to make a running process appear as though it is the child of a different process or belongs to someone other than the user that started the process. When this occurs, the process also takes on the security context associated with the new token.

TA0005
Defense Evasion
The adversary is trying to avoid being detected.
Defense Evasion consists of techniques that adversaries use to avoid detection throughout their compromise. Techniques used for defense evasion include uninstalling/disabling security software or obfuscating/encrypting data and scripts. Adversaries also leverage and abuse trusted processes to hide and masquerade their malware. Other tactics’ techniques are cross-listed here when those techniques include the added benefit of subverting defenses.

T1036
Masquerading
Adversaries may attempt to manipulate features of their artifacts to make them appear legitimate or benign to users and/or security tools. Masquerading occurs when the name or location of an object, legitimate or malicious, is manipulated or abused for the sake of evading defenses and observation. This may include manipulating file metadata, tricking users into misidentifying the file type, and giving legitimate task or service names.
Renaming abusable system utilities to evade security monitoring is also a form of Masquerading.(Citation: LOLBAS Main Site) Masquerading may also include the use of Proxy or VPNs to disguise IP addresses, which can allow adversaries to blend in with normal network traffic and bypass conditional access policies or anti-abuse protections.

Modify Registry
Adversaries may interact with the Windows Registry as part of a variety of other techniques to aid in defense evasion, persistence, and execution.
