Classe: Backdoor
Les portes dérobées sont conçues pour permettre aux utilisateurs malveillants de contrôler à distance un ordinateur infecté. En termes de fonctionnalité, Backdoors sont similaires à de nombreux systèmes d'administration conçus et distribués par les développeurs de logiciels. Ces types de programmes malveillants permettent de faire tout ce que l'auteur veut sur l'ordinateur infecté: envoyer et recevoir des fichiers, lancer ou supprimer des fichiers, afficher des messages, supprimer des données, redémarrer l'ordinateur, etc. Les programmes de cette catégorie sont souvent utilisés afin d'unifier un groupe d'ordinateurs victimes et de former un réseau de zombies ou de zombies. Cela donne aux utilisateurs malveillants un contrôle centralisé sur une armée d'ordinateurs infectés qui peuvent ensuite être utilisés à des fins criminelles. Il y a aussi un groupe de Backdoors qui sont capables de se propager via des réseaux et d'infecter d'autres ordinateurs comme le fait Net-Worms. La différence est que ces portes dérobées ne se propagent pas automatiquement (comme le font les vers de terre), mais seulement sur une "commande" spéciale de l'utilisateur malveillant qui les contrôle.Plus d'informations

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.

Process Injection: Dynamic-link Library Injection
Adversaries may inject dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) into processes in order to evade process-based defenses as well as possibly elevate privileges. DLL injection is a method of executing arbitrary code in the address space of a separate live process.
DLL injection is commonly performed by writing the path to a DLL in the virtual address space of the target process before loading the DLL by invoking a new thread. The write can be performed with native Windows API calls such as
Variations of this method such as reflective DLL injection (writing a self-mapping DLL into a process) and memory module (map DLL when writing into process) overcome the address relocation issue as well as the additional APIs to invoke execution (since these methods load and execute the files in memory by manually preforming the function of
Another variation of this method, often referred to as Module Stomping/Overloading or DLL Hollowing, may be leveraged to conceal injected code within a process. This method involves loading a legitimate DLL into a remote process then manually overwriting the module's
Running code in the context of another process may allow access to the process's memory, system/network resources, and possibly elevated privileges. Execution via DLL injection may also evade detection from security products since the execution is masked under a legitimate process.
DLL injection is commonly performed by writing the path to a DLL in the virtual address space of the target process before loading the DLL by invoking a new thread. The write can be performed with native Windows API calls such as
VirtualAllocEx and WriteProcessMemory, then invoked with CreateRemoteThread (which calls the LoadLibrary API responsible for loading the DLL).

This method involves loading a legitimate DLL into a remote process then manually overwriting the module's
AddressOfEntryPoint before starting a new thread in the target process.(Citation: Module Stomping for Shellcode Injection) This variation allows attackers to hide malicious injected code by potentially backing its execution with a legitimate DLL file on disk.(Citation: Hiding Malicious Code with Module Stomping) Running code in the context of another process may allow access to the process's memory, system/network resources, and possibly elevated privileges. Execution via DLL injection may also evade detection from security products since the execution is masked under a legitimate process.

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.
