Kaspersky Threats — Backdoor.Win32.PMax.ayea

クラス: Backdoor

バックドアは、悪意のあるユーザーが感染したコンピュータをリモートコントロールできるように設計されています。機能性の面では、バックドアはソフトウェア開発者が設計し配布する多くの管理システムに似ています。これらの種類の悪質なプログラムは、ファイルの送受信、ファイルの起動や削除、メッセージの表示、データの削除、コンピュータの再起動など、感染したコンピュータ上で必要な作業を可能にします。このカテゴリのプログラムは、被害者のコンピュータのグループを結びつけ、ボットネットまたはゾンビネットワークを形成するためです。これにより、悪意のあるユーザーは感染したコンピュータの軍隊を集中管理し、犯罪目的で使用することができます。 Net-Wormのように、ネットワークを介して拡散して他のコンピュータに感染することができるバックドアのグループもあります。違いは、このようなBackdoorは（Net-Wormのように）自動的に広がるのではなく、それらを制御する悪意のあるユーザーからの特別な「コマンド」に限られるということです。

プラットフォーム: Win32

Win32は、32ビットアプリケーションの実行をサポートするWindows NTベースのオペレーティングシステム（Windows XP、Windows 7など）上のAPIです。世界で最も広く普及しているプログラミングプラットフォームの1つです。

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.

T1059.001

PowerShell

Adversaries may abuse PowerShell commands and scripts for execution. PowerShell is a powerful interactive command-line interface and scripting environment included in the Windows operating system. Adversaries can use PowerShell to perform a number of actions, including discovery of information and execution of code. Examples include the Start-Process cmdlet which can be used to run an executable and the Invoke-Command cmdlet which runs a command locally or on a remote computer (though administrator permissions are required to use PowerShell to connect to remote systems).

T1569.002

Service Execution

Adversaries may abuse the Windows service control manager to execute malicious commands or payloads. The Windows service control manager (services.exe) is an interface to manage and manipulate services. The service control manager is accessible to users via GUI components as well as system utilities such as sc.exe and Net.

TA0003

Persistence

The adversary is trying to maintain their foothold. Persistence consists of techniques that adversaries use to keep access to systems across restarts, changed credentials, and other interruptions that could cut off their access. Techniques used for persistence include any access, action, or configuration changes that let them maintain their foothold on systems, such as replacing or hijacking legitimate code or adding startup code.

T1543.003

Windows Service

Adversaries may create or modify Windows services to repeatedly execute malicious payloads as part of persistence. When Windows boots up, it starts programs or applications called services that perform background system functions. Windows service configuration information, including the file path to the service's executable or recovery programs/commands, is stored in the Windows Registry.

TA0004

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.

T1134.004

Parent PID Spoofing

Adversaries may spoof the parent process identifier (PPID) of a new process to evade process-monitoring defenses or to elevate privileges. New processes are typically spawned directly from their parent, or calling, process unless explicitly specified. One way of explicitly assigning the PPID of a new process is via the CreateProcess API call, which supports a parameter that defines the PPID to use. This functionality is used by Windows features such as User Account Control (UAC) to correctly set the PPID after a requested elevated process is spawned by SYSTEM (typically via svchost.exe or consent.exe) rather than the current user context.

T1543.003

Windows Service

TA0005

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.

T1070.004

File Deletion

Adversaries may delete files left behind by the actions of their intrusion activity. Malware, tools, or other non-native files dropped or created on a system by an adversary (ex: Ingress Tool Transfer) may leave traces to indicate to what was done within a network and how. Removal of these files can occur during an intrusion, or as part of a post-intrusion process to minimize the adversary's footprint.

T1134.004

Parent PID Spoofing

T1562.001

Disable or Modify Tools

Adversaries may modify and/or disable security tools to avoid possible detection of their malware/tools and activities. This may take many forms, such as killing security software processes or services, modifying / deleting Registry keys or configuration files so that tools do not operate properly, or other methods to interfere with security tools scanning or reporting information. Adversaries may also disable updates to prevent the latest security patches from reaching tools on victim systems.
