Sınıf: Hoax
Bir aldatmaca, bir virüs veya başka bir zararlı kod parçası hakkında sahte bir uyarıdır. Tipik olarak bir aldatmaca, tehlikeli yeni bir virüsün okuyucusunu uyaran ve okuyucunun mesajı ilettiğini ileri süren bir e-posta mesajı biçiminde olur. Aldatmacalar kendilerine zarar vermez, fakat iyi niyetli kullanıcılar tarafından dağıtımı genellikle korku ve belirsizliğe neden olur. Çoğu virüsten koruma yazılımı satıcıları web sitelerinde aldatmaca bilgileri içerir ve uyarı mesajlarını iletmeden önce her zaman kontrol edilmesi önerilir.Platform: Win32

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: Double File Extension
Adversaries may abuse a double extension in the filename as a means of masquerading the true file type. A file name may include a secondary file type extension that may cause only the first extension to be displayed (ex:
Adversaries may abuse double extensions to attempt to conceal dangerous file types of payloads. A very common usage involves tricking a user into opening what they think is a benign file type but is actually executable code. Such files often pose as email attachments and allow an adversary to gain Initial Access into a user’s system via Spearphishing Attachment then User Execution. For example, an executable file attachment named
Common file types, such as text files (.txt, .doc, etc.) and image files (.jpg, .gif, etc.) are typically used as the first extension to appear benign. Executable extensions commonly regarded as dangerous, such as .exe, .lnk, .hta, and .scr, often appear as the second extension and true file type.
File.txt.exe may render in some views as just File.txt). However, the second extension is the true file type that determines how the file is opened and executed. The real file extension may be hidden by the operating system in the file browser (ex: explorer.exe), as well as in any software configured using or similar to the system’s policies.(Citation: PCMag DoubleExtension)(Citation: SOCPrime DoubleExtension) Adversaries may abuse double extensions to attempt to conceal dangerous file types of payloads.
