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.Read more

Tactics and Techniques: Mitre*
Adversaries may communicate using a protocol and port pairing that are typically not associated. For example, HTTPS over port 8088(Citation: Symantec Elfin Mar 2019) or port 587(Citation: Fortinet Agent Tesla April 2018) as opposed to the traditional port 443. Adversaries may make changes to the standard port used by a protocol to bypass filtering or muddle analysis/parsing of network data.
Adversaries may also make changes to victim systems to abuse non-standard ports. For example, Registry keys and other configuration settings can be used to modify protocol and port pairings.(Citation: change_rdp_port_conti)
