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.Подробнее

Тактики и Техники: 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.

System Binary Proxy Execution: Msiexec
Adversaries may abuse msiexec.exe to proxy execution of malicious payloads. Msiexec.exe is the command-line utility for the Windows Installer and is thus commonly associated with executing installation packages (.msi).(Citation: Microsoft msiexec) The Msiexec.exe binary may also be digitally signed by Microsoft.
Adversaries may abuse msiexec.exe to launch local or network accessible MSI files. Msiexec.exe can also execute DLLs.(Citation: LOLBAS Msiexec)(Citation: TrendMicro Msiexec Feb 2018) Since it may be signed and native on Windows systems, msiexec.exe can be used to bypass application control solutions that do not account for its potential abuse. Msiexec.exe execution may also be elevated to SYSTEM privileges if the

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.
