Classe: Trojan-Downloader
Programas classificados como Trojan-Downloader baixam e instalam novas versões de programas mal-intencionados, incluindo Trojans e AdWare, em computadores vitimados. Uma vez baixados da Internet, os programas são iniciados ou incluídos em uma lista de programas que serão executados automaticamente quando o sistema operacional for inicializado. As informações sobre os nomes e locais dos programas baixados estão no código do Trojan ou são baixadas pelo cavalo de Tróia a partir de um recurso da Internet (geralmente uma página da Web). Esse tipo de programa malicioso é freqüentemente usado na infecção inicial de visitantes de sites que contêm exploits.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: Trojan-Downloader.Win32.Agent

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.

Command and Scripting Interpreter: Visual Basic
Adversaries may abuse Visual Basic (VB) for execution. VB is a programming language created by Microsoft with interoperability with many Windows technologies such as Component Object Model and the Native API through the Windows API. Although tagged as legacy with no planned future evolutions, VB is integrated and supported in the .NET Framework and cross-platform .NET Core.(Citation: VB .NET Mar 2020)(Citation: VB Microsoft)
Derivative languages based on VB have also been created, such as Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and VBScript. VBA is an event-driven programming language built into Microsoft Office, as well as several third-party applications.(Citation: Microsoft VBA)(Citation: Wikipedia VBA) VBA enables documents to contain macros used to automate the execution of tasks and other functionality on the host. VBScript is a default scripting language on Windows hosts and can also be used in place of JavaScript on HTML Application (HTA) webpages served to Internet Explorer (though most modern browsers do not come with VBScript support).(Citation: Microsoft VBScript)
Adversaries may use VB payloads to execute malicious commands. Common malicious usage includes automating execution of behaviors with VBScript or embedding VBA content into Spearphishing Attachment payloads (which may also involve Mark-of-the-Web Bypass to enable execution).(Citation: Default VBS macros Blocking )
