Class: Downloader

Programs of this type stealthily download a variety of content from network resources. They are not malicious programs, but malicious users can use them to download malicious content onto a victim computer. If a user has installed such a program on his/her computer, or if it was installed by a system administrator, then it does not pose any threat.

TA0011
Command and Control

Adversaries may communicate using application layer protocols associated with web traffic to avoid detection/network filtering by blending in with existing traffic. Commands to the remote system, and often the results of those commands, will be embedded within the protocol traffic between the client and server.


Protocols such as HTTP/S(Citation: CrowdStrike Putter Panda) and WebSocket(Citation: Brazking-Websockets) that carry web traffic may be very common in environments. HTTP/S packets have many fields and headers in which data can be concealed. An adversary may abuse these protocols to communicate with systems under their control within a victim network while also mimicking normal, expected traffic.
