Sınıf: Email-Worm
Email-Worms e-posta yoluyla yayıldı. Solucan, kendisinin bir kopyasını bir e-posta mesajının eki olarak veya bir ağ kaynağındaki dosyasına bir bağlantı olarak gönderir (örn., Ele geçirilmiş bir web sitesindeki veya hacker'ın sahip olduğu bir web sitesinde virüslü bir dosyanın URL'si). İlk durumda, virüslü eklenti açıldığında (başlatıldığında) solucan kodu devreye girer. İkinci durumda, virüs bulaşan dosyaya bağlantı açıldığında kod etkinleştirilir. Her iki durumda da, sonuç aynıdır: solucan kodu etkinleştirildi. Email-Worms, virüslü e-posta göndermek için bir dizi yöntem kullanır. En yaygın olanları şunlardır: Windows MAPI işlevlerini kullanarak MS Outlook hizmetlerini kullanarak solucan koduna yerleşik e-posta dizini kullanarak bir SMTP sunucusuna doğrudan bağlantı kullanarak. E-posta solucanları, virüslü e-postaların gönderileceği e-posta adreslerini bulmak için bir dizi farklı kaynak kullanır: MS Outlook'taki adres defteri, sabit sürücüde saklanan bir WAB adres veritabanı .txt dosyaları: solucan, metin dosyalarındaki hangi dizeleri belirleyebilir e-posta adreslerini gelen kutunuzda e-postalar (bazı e-posta-solucanlar gelen kutucukta bulunan e-postalara bile "cevap verir") Birçok e-posta solucanı, yukarıda listelenen kaynaklardan daha fazlasını kullanır. Web tabanlı e-posta hizmetleriyle ilişkili adres defterleri gibi başka e-posta adresleri kaynakları da vardır.Platform: Win32
Win32, 32-bit uygulamaların yürütülmesini destekleyen Windows NT tabanlı işletim sistemlerinde (Windows XP, Windows 7, vb.) Bir API'dir. Dünyanın en yaygın programlama platformlarından biri.Aile: Email-Worm.Win32.LovGate

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.

Masquerading: Match Legitimate Name or Location
Adversaries may match or approximate the name or location of legitimate files or resources when naming/placing them. This is done for the sake of evading defenses and observation. This may be done by placing an executable in a commonly trusted directory (ex: under System32) or giving it the name of a legitimate, trusted program (ex: svchost.exe). In containerized environments, this may also be done by creating a resource in a namespace that matches the naming convention of a container pod or cluster. Alternatively, a file or container image name given may be a close approximation to legitimate programs/images or something innocuous.
Adversaries may also use the same icon of the file they are trying to mimic.

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.
