Kaspersky Threats — Backdoor.MSIL.PulsarRAT.kh

Clase: Backdoor

Las puertas traseras están diseñadas para dar a los usuarios maliciosos el control remoto de una computadora infectada. En términos de funcionalidad, las puertas traseras son similares a muchos sistemas de administración diseñados y distribuidos por los desarrolladores de software. Estos tipos de programas maliciosos hacen posible hacer todo lo que el autor desee en la computadora infectada: enviar y recibir archivos, iniciar archivos o eliminarlos, mostrar mensajes, eliminar datos, reiniciar la computadora, etc. Los programas de esta categoría se utilizan a menudo para unir un grupo de computadoras de víctimas y formar una red zombi o botnet. Esto le da a los usuarios maliciosos control centralizado sobre un ejército de computadoras infectadas que luego pueden ser utilizadas con fines delictivos. También hay un grupo de puertas traseras que son capaces de propagarse a través de redes e infectar a otras computadoras como Net-Worms. La diferencia es que tales Backdoors no se propagan automáticamente (como Net-Worms), sino solo con un "comando" especial del usuario malintencionado que los controla.

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.

T1055

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.

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.

Process Hollowing

Adversaries may inject malicious code into suspended and hollowed processes in order to evade process-based defenses. Process hollowing is a method of executing arbitrary code in the address space of a separate live process.
