Kategorie: Exploit
Exploits sind Programme, die Daten oder ausführbaren Code enthalten, die eine oder mehrere Sicherheitslücken in Software ausnutzen, die auf einem lokalen oder Remote-Computer für eindeutig bösartige Zwecke ausgeführt wird.Häufig verwenden böswillige Benutzer einen Exploit, um in einen Opfercomputer einzudringen, um anschließend bösartigen Code zu installieren (beispielsweise um alle Besucher einer kompromittierten Website mit einem bösartigen Programm zu infizieren). Außerdem werden Exploits häufig von Net-Worms verwendet, um einen Opfercomputer zu hacken, ohne dass der Benutzer etwas unternehmen muss.
Nuker-Programme sind unter Exploits bemerkenswert; Solche Programme senden speziell gestaltete Anfragen an lokale oder entfernte Computer, wodurch das System zum Absturz gebracht wird.

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.

Parent PID Spoofing
Adversaries may spoof the parent process identifier (PPID) of a new process to evade process-monitoring defenses or to elevate privileges. New processes are typically spawned directly from their parent, or calling, process unless explicitly specified. One way of explicitly assigning the PPID of a new process is via the
CreateProcess API call, which supports a parameter that defines the PPID to use. This functionality is used by Windows features such as User Account Control (UAC) to correctly set the PPID after a requested elevated process is spawned by SYSTEM (typically via svchost.exe or consent.exe) rather than the current user context. 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.
