Classe: Net-Worm
Net-Worms propagam-se através de redes de computadores. A característica distintiva desse tipo de worm é que ele não requer ação do usuário para se espalhar. Esse tipo de worm geralmente procura vulnerabilidades críticas em softwares em execução em computadores em rede. Para infectar os computadores na rede, o worm envia um pacote de rede especialmente criado (chamado exploit) e, como resultado, o código do worm (ou parte do código do worm) penetra no computador da vítima e é ativado. Às vezes, o pacote de rede contém apenas a parte do código do worm que baixará e executará um arquivo contendo o módulo principal do worm. Alguns worms de rede usam vários exploits simultaneamente para se espalhar, aumentando assim a velocidade com que eles encontram vítimas.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: Net-Worm.Win32.Mytob

Tactics and Techniques: Mitre*
TA0002
Execution
The adversary is trying to run malicious code.
Execution consists of techniques that result in adversary-controlled code running on a local or remote system. Techniques that run malicious code are often paired with techniques from all other tactics to achieve broader goals, like exploring a network or stealing data. For example, an adversary might use a remote access tool to run a PowerShell script that does Remote System Discovery.

T1204.002
User Execution: Malicious File
An adversary may rely upon a user opening a malicious file in order to gain execution. Users may be subjected to social engineering to get them to open a file that will lead to code execution. This user action will typically be observed as follow-on behavior from Spearphishing Attachment. Adversaries may use several types of files that require a user to execute them, including .doc, .pdf, .xls, .rtf, .scr, .exe, .lnk, .pif, and .cpl.
Adversaries may employ various forms of Masquerading and Obfuscated Files or Information to increase the likelihood that a user will open and successfully execute a malicious file. These methods may include using a familiar naming convention and/or password protecting the file and supplying instructions to a user on how to open it.(Citation: Password Protected Word Docs)
While Malicious File frequently occurs shortly after Initial Access it may occur at other phases of an intrusion, such as when an adversary places a file in a shared directory or on a user's desktop hoping that a user will click on it. This activity may also be seen shortly after Internal Spearphishing.
