Kategorie: Net-Worm
Net-Worms propagieren über Computernetze. Das Unterscheidungsmerkmal dieser Art von Wurm ist, dass keine Benutzeraktion erforderlich ist, um sich zu verbreiten.Diese Art von Wurm sucht normalerweise nach kritischen Schwachstellen in Software, die auf Computern im Netzwerk ausgeführt wird. Um die Computer im Netzwerk zu infizieren, sendet der Wurm ein speziell gestaltetes Netzwerkpaket (ein Exploit genannt) und als Folge dringt der Wurmcode (oder ein Teil des Wurmcodes) in den Opfercomputer ein und aktiviert ihn. Manchmal enthält das Netzwerkpaket nur den Teil des Wurmcodes, der eine Datei mit dem Hauptwurmmodul herunterlädt und ausführt. Einige Netzwerkwürmer verwenden mehrere Exploits gleichzeitig, um sich zu verbreiten und erhöhen so die Geschwindigkeit, mit der sie Opfer finden.

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.

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.
