クラス: Trojan-Dropper
Trojan-Dropperプログラムは、コードに組み込まれた悪質なプログラムを犠牲PCに秘密裏にインストールするように設計されています。この種の悪意のあるプログラムは通常、被害者のドライブ（通常はWindowsディレクトリ、Windowsシステムディレクトリ、一時ディレクトリなど）に一定の範囲のファイルを保存し、通知なしで起動します（またはアーカイブエラーの偽の通知、古いオペレーティングシステムのバージョンなど）。このようなプログラムは、以下の目的でハッカーによって使用されています。トロイの木馬プログラムおよび/またはウイルスを秘密裏にインストールして、既知の悪意のあるプログラムがウイルス対策ソリューションによって検出されないようにします。すべてのウイルス対策プログラムがこのタイプのトロイの木馬の中のすべてのコンポーネントをスキャンできるわけではありません。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: Trojan-Dropper.Win32.Agent

Tactics and Techniques: Mitre*
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.

Hide Artifacts: Hidden Files and Directories
Adversaries may set files and directories to be hidden to evade detection mechanisms. To prevent normal users from accidentally changing special files on a system, most operating systems have the concept of a ‘hidden’ file. These files don’t show up when a user browses the file system with a GUI or when using normal commands on the command line. Users must explicitly ask to show the hidden files either via a series of Graphical User Interface (GUI) prompts or with command line switches (
On Linux and Mac, users can mark specific files as hidden simply by putting a “.” as the first character in the file or folder name (Citation: Sofacy Komplex Trojan) (Citation: Antiquated Mac Malware). Files and folders that start with a period, ‘.’, are by default hidden from being viewed in the Finder application and standard command-line utilities like “ls”. Users must specifically change settings to have these files viewable.
Files on macOS can also be marked with the UF_HIDDEN flag which prevents them from being seen in Finder.app, but still allows them to be seen in Terminal.app (Citation: WireLurker). On Windows, users can mark specific files as hidden by using the attrib.exe binary. Many applications create these hidden files and folders to store information so that it doesn’t clutter up the user’s workspace. For example, SSH utilities create a .ssh folder that’s hidden and contains the user’s known hosts and keys.
Adversaries can use this to their advantage to hide files and folders anywhere on the system and evading a typical user or system analysis that does not incorporate investigation of hidden files.
