クラス: Email-Worm
Email-Wormsは電子メールで広がります。ワームは、電子メールメッセージへの添付ファイル、またはネットワークリソース上のファイルへのリンク（例えば、侵害されたWebサイトやハッカー所有のWebサイト上の感染ファイルへのURL）として自身のコピーを送信します。最初のケースでは、感染した添付ファイルが開かれた（起動された）ときにワームコードがアクティブになります。 2番目のケースでは、感染ファイルへのリンクが開かれたときにコードが有効になります。どちらの場合も、結果は同じです：ワームコードが有効になっています。 Email-Wormは、感染した電子メールを送信するためにさまざまな方法を使用します。最も一般的なのは、Windows MAPI機能を使用するMS Outlookサービスを使用してワームのコードに組み込まれた電子メールディレクトリを使用してSMTPサーバーに直接接続することです。 Email-Wormsは、感染した電子メールが送信される電子メールアドレスを見つけるためにいくつかの異なるソースを使用しています：MS Outlookのアドレス帳ハードドライブに格納されたWABアドレスデータベース.txtファイル：ワームはテキストファイルのどの文字列メールボックスは、受信ボックス内の電子メールアドレスを扱います（一部の電子メールワームは、受信ボックスにある電子メールにも「返信」します）。多くのEメールワームは、上記のソースのうちの複数を使用します。 Webベースの電子メールサービスに関連付けられたアドレス帳など、電子メールアドレスの他のソースもあります。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。ファミリー: Email-Worm.Win32.Warezov

Tactics and Techniques: Mitre*
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.

Process Injection
Adversaries may inject code into processes in order to evade process-based defenses as well as possibly elevate privileges. Process injection is a method of executing arbitrary code in the address space of a separate live process. 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 process injection may also evade detection from security products since the execution is masked under a legitimate process.
There are many different ways to inject code into a process, many of which abuse legitimate functionalities. These implementations exist for every major OS but are typically platform specific.
More sophisticated samples may perform multiple process injections to segment modules and further evade detection, utilizing named pipes or other inter-process communication (IPC) mechanisms as a communication channel.

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.

Command and Control
The adversary is trying to communicate with compromised systems to control them.
Command and Control consists of techniques that adversaries may use to communicate with systems under their control within a victim network. Adversaries commonly attempt to mimic normal, expected traffic to avoid detection. There are many ways an adversary can establish command and control with various levels of stealth depending on the victim’s network structure and defenses.

Application Layer Protocol: Mail Protocols
Adversaries may communicate using application layer protocols associated with electronic mail delivery 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 SMTP/S, POP3/S, and IMAP that carry electronic mail may be very common in environments. Packets produced from these protocols may have many fields and headers in which data can be concealed. Data could also be concealed within the email messages themselves. An adversary may abuse these protocols to communicate with systems under their control within a victim network while also mimicking normal, expected traffic.
