Ingress Tool Transfer
内部へのツール転送

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).

攻撃者は、外部のシステムから侵害された環境にツールやその他のファイルを転送する場合があります。ツールまたはファイルは、外部の攻撃者が制御するシステムから、コマンド＆コントロールチャネルまたは ftp のようなプロトコルを介して被害ネットワークにコピーされることがあります。一旦置かれると、攻撃者は、侵害された環境内の被害者デバイス間でツールを転送／拡散することもできます（i.e. 横方向ツール転送）。

Files can also be transferred using various Web Services as well as native or otherwise present tools on the victim system.[1]

ファイルの転送には、様々なWebサービスや被害システム上に存在するネイティブツールなどを利用する場合もあります。

On Windows, adversaries may use various utilities to download tools, such as copy, finger, 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.[2]

Windows では、攻撃者は copy、fingerコマンドや、IEX(New-Object Net.WebClient).downloadString() や Invoke-WebRequest などの PowerShell コマンドなど、ツールをダウンロードするための様々なユーティリティを使用することがあります。Linux や macOS では、curl、scp、sftp、tftp、rsync、finger、wget などのさまざまなユーティリティも存在します。

Mitigations

ID Mitigation Description
M1031 Network Intrusion Prevention

Network intrusion detection and prevention systems that use network signatures to identify traffic for specific adversary malware or unusual data transfer over known protocols like FTP can be used to mitigate activity at the network level. Signatures are often for unique indicators within protocols and may be based on the specific obfuscation technique used by a particular adversary or tool, and will likely be different across various malware families and versions. Adversaries will likely change tool C2 signatures over time or construct protocols in such a way as to avoid detection by common defensive tools.[475]

Detection

ID Data Source Data Component Detects
DS0022 File File Creation

Monitor for file creation and files transferred into the network

DS0029 Network Traffic Network Connection Creation

Monitor for newly constructed network connections that are sent or received by untrusted hosts or creating files on-system may be suspicious. Use of utilities, such as FTP, that does not normally occur may also be suspicious.

    Network Traffic Content

Monitor network traffic content for files and other potentially malicious content, especially data coming in from abnormal/unknown domain and IPs.

    Network Traffic Flow

Monitor 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.
