Třída: Email-Worm
Email-Worms se šíří e-mailem. Červ zasílá vlastní kopii jako přílohu k e-mailové zprávě nebo k odkazu na soubor na síťovém zdroji (např. URL na infikovaný soubor na ohrožených webových stránkách nebo webových stránkách vlastněných hackery).V prvním případě se červový kód aktivuje při otevření (spuštěném) infikovaném přílohě. Ve druhém případě je kód aktivován, když se otevře odkaz na infikovaný soubor. V obou případech je výsledek stejný: aktivuje se kód červů.
Email-Worms používají řadu metod pro odesílání infikovaných e-mailů. Nejběžnější jsou:
pomocí přímého připojení k serveru SMTP pomocí e-mailového adresáře zabudovaného do kódu červa
pomocí služeb MS Outlook
pomocí funkcí systému Windows MAPI.
Email-Worms používají řadu různých zdrojů, aby našli e-mailové adresy, na které budou zasílány infikované e-maily:
adresář v aplikaci MS Outlook
databázi adres WAB
.txt soubory uložené na pevném disku: červa může identifikovat, které řetězce v textových souborech jsou e-mailové adresy
e-maily v doručené poště (některé e-mailové červy dokonce "odpověď" na e-maily nalezené ve doručené poště)
Mnoho e-mailových červů používá více než jeden ze zdrojů uvedených výše. Existují také další zdroje e-mailových adres, jako jsou například adresáře spojené s webovými e-mailovými službami.
Platfoma: Win32
Win32 je rozhraní API v operačních systémech Windows NT (Windows XP, Windows 7 atd.), Které podporují provádění 32bitových aplikací. Jedna z nejrozšířenějších programovacích platforem na světě.Family: 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.
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.
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.
T1036.008
Masquerade File Type
Adversaries may masquerade malicious payloads as legitimate files through changes to the payload's formatting, including the file’s signature, extension, icon, and contents. Various file types have a typical standard format, including how they are encoded and organized. For example, a file’s signature (also known as header or magic bytes) is the beginning bytes of a file and is often used to identify the file’s type. For example, the header of a JPEG file, is
0xFF 0xD8 and the file extension is either `.JPE`, `.JPEG` or `.JPG`. T1112
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.
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.
TA0040
Impact
The adversary is trying to manipulate, interrupt, or destroy your systems and data. Impact consists of techniques that adversaries use to disrupt availability or compromise integrity by manipulating business and operational processes. Techniques used for impact can include destroying or tampering with data. In some cases, business processes can look fine, but may have been altered to benefit the adversaries' goals. These techniques might be used by adversaries to follow through on their end goal or to provide cover for a confidentiality breach.
T1565
Data Manipulation
Adversaries may insert, delete, or manipulate data in order to influence external outcomes or hide activity, thus threatening the integrity of the data. By manipulating data, adversaries may attempt to affect a business process, organizational understanding, or decision making.
