Kaspersky Threats — Backdoor.MSIL.XWorm.lkr

Класс: Backdoor

Предназначены для удаленного управления злоумышленником пораженным компьютером. По своим функциям Backdoor во многом напоминают различные системы администрирования, разрабатываемые и распространяемые фирмами-производителями программных продуктов. Подобные вредоносные программы позволяют делать с компьютером все, что в них заложит автор: принимать или отсылать файлы, запускать и уничтожать их, выводить сообщения, стирать информацию, перезагружать компьютер и т. д. Представители этого типа вредоносных программ очень часто используются для объединения компьютеров-жертв в так называемые бот-сети/зомби-сети, что позволяет злоумышленникам централизованно управлять всей армией пораженных компьютеров для совершения злонамеренных действий. Отдельно следует отметить группу бэкдоров, способных распространяться по сети и внедряться в другие компьютеры, как это делают сетевые черви. Отличает такие бэкдоры от червей то, что они распространяются по сети не самопроизвольно (как сетевые черви), а только по специальной команде «хозяина», управляющего данной копией троянской программы.

Платформа: MSIL

MSIL (Microsoft Intermediate Language; новое название – CIL, Common Intermediate Language) – промежуточный язык, разработанный компанией Microsoft для платформы .NET Framework. Код на языке CIL генерируют все компиляторы .NET компании Microsoft, входящие в среду разработки Microsoft Visual Studio (Visual Basic .NET, Visual C++, Visual C# и другие).

Тактики и Техники: 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.

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.

T1547.001

Registry Run Keys / Startup Folder

Adversaries may achieve persistence by adding a program to a startup folder or referencing it with a Registry run key. Adding an entry to the "run keys" in the Registry or startup folder will cause the program referenced to be executed when a user logs in. These programs will be executed under the context of the user and will have the account's associated permissions level.

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.

T1055.012

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.

T1547.001

Registry Run Keys / Startup Folder

TA0005

Stealth

The adversary is trying to hide and conceal their actions, appearing as normal behavior. Stealth consists of techniques that reduce the likelihood of detection by blending in with legitimate activity or minimizing observable signals. These techniques are characterized by concealment behaviors, such as avoiding, obfuscating, or mimicking normal operations, without modifying security controls or compromising collection and monitoring feeds. The goal is to remain indistinguishable from benign activity while leaving defensive systems intact.

T1055.012

Process Hollowing

TA0011

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.

T1095

Non-Application Layer Protocol

Adversaries may use an OSI non-application layer protocol for communication between host and C2 server or among infected hosts within a network. The list of possible protocols is extensive. Specific examples include use of network layer protocols, such as the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), transport layer protocols, such as the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), session layer protocols, such as Socket Secure (SOCKS), as well as redirected/tunneled protocols, such as Serial over LAN (SOL).

TA0112

Defense Impairment

The adversary is trying to break security mechanisms, pipelines, and tooling so defenders can’t see or trust what’s happening. Defense Impairment consists of techniques that degrade, disable, or undermine the effectiveness and trustworthiness of security controls and monitoring mechanisms. These techniques are characterized by direct interference with defensive systems. The goal is to reduce defenders’ ability to detect, interpret, or respond to adversary activity.

T1685

Disable or Modify Tools

Adversaries may disable, degrade, or tamper with security tools or applications (e.g., endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools, intrusion detection systems (IDS), antivirus, logging agents, sensors, etc.) to impair or reduce visibility of defensive capabilities. This may include stopping specific services, killing processes, modifying or deleting tool configuration files and Registry keys, or preventing tools from updating. This may also include impairing defenses more broadly by disrupting preventative, detection, and response mechanisms across host, network, and cloud environments.
