Classe: Email-Worm
Email-Worms propagation par e-mail. Le ver envoie une copie de lui-même en pièce jointe à un message électronique ou un lien vers son fichier sur une ressource réseau (par exemple, une URL vers un fichier infecté sur un site Web compromis ou un site Web appartenant à un pirate). Dans le premier cas, le code du ver est activé lorsque la pièce jointe infectée est ouverte (lancée). Dans le second cas, le code est activé lorsque le lien vers le fichier infecté est ouvert. Dans les deux cas, le résultat est le même: le code du ver est activé. Email-Worms utilise une gamme de méthodes pour envoyer des emails infectés. Les plus courantes sont: l'utilisation d'une connexion directe à un serveur SMTP à l'aide du répertoire de messagerie intégré dans le code du ver en utilisant les services MS Outlook à l'aide des fonctions Windows MAPI. Email-Worms utilisent un certain nombre de sources différentes pour trouver les adresses email auxquelles les emails infectés seront envoyés: le carnet d'adresses dans MS Outlook une base de données d'adresses WAB .txt fichiers stockés sur le disque dur: le ver peut identifier les chaînes dans les fichiers texte Les e-mails adressent des e-mails dans la boîte de réception (certains e-mails peuvent même répondre aux e-mails trouvés dans la boîte de réception) De nombreux vers de messagerie utilisent plus d'une des sources répertoriées ci-dessus. Il existe également d'autres sources d'adresses électroniques, telles que les carnets d'adresses associés aux services de messagerie Web.Plus d'informations

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.

T1203
Exploitation for Client Execution
Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities in client applications to execute code. Vulnerabilities can exist in software due to unsecure coding practices that can lead to unanticipated behavior. Adversaries can take advantage of certain vulnerabilities through targeted exploitation for the purpose of arbitrary code execution. Oftentimes the most valuable exploits to an offensive toolkit are those that can be used to obtain code execution on a remote system because they can be used to gain access to that system. Users will expect to see files related to the applications they commonly used to do work, so they are a useful target for exploit research and development because of their high utility.
Several types exist:
### Browser-based Exploitation
Web browsers are a common target through Drive-by Compromise and Spearphishing Link. Endpoint systems may be compromised through normal web browsing or from certain users being targeted by links in spearphishing emails to adversary controlled sites used to exploit the web browser. These often do not require an action by the user for the exploit to be executed.
### Office Applications
Common office and productivity applications such as Microsoft Office are also targeted through Phishing. Malicious files will be transmitted directly as attachments or through links to download them. These require the user to open the document or file for the exploit to run.
### Common Third-party Applications
Other applications that are commonly seen or are part of the software deployed in a target network may also be used for exploitation. Applications such as Adobe Reader and Flash, which are common in enterprise environments, have been routinely targeted by adversaries attempting to gain access to systems. Depending on the software and nature of the vulnerability, some may be exploited in the browser or require the user to open a file. For instance, some Flash exploits have been delivered as objects within Microsoft Office documents.
