Detecting Popular Cobalt Strike Malleable C2 Profile Techniques
We examine malicious Cobalt Strike case studies with distinct techniques using Malleable C2 profiles.
EDR bypassing via memory manipulation techniques | WithSecure™ Labs
Endpoint Detection & Response systems (EDR), delivered by in-house teams or as part of a managed service, are a feature of modern intrusion detection and remediation operations. This success is a problem for attackers, and malicious actors have worked to find new ways to evade EDR detection capabilities. PDF Document
Bypassing Qakbot Anti-Analysis
QakBot is a banking trojan that has been evolving since its first version was discovered in 2008. According to the 2022 report published by CISA, it was one of the most active variants in 2021, and during 2022 and so far in 2023 it has remained quite active. Taking a brief look at the latests news of QakBot it has been updating its tactics constantly, for example, using a Windows zero-day to avoid displaying the MoTW or the most recent one, using OneNote files to drop QakBot. In this case we are particularly interested in the anti-analysis techniques used by QakBot during the early stages of its execution. These techniques can make malware analysis harder if they are not known, so learning to identify and bypass them is essential to get to see the malware’s operation at its full potential. Furthermore, there are techniques that can replicate / adopt different types of malware, so knowking them opens the door to the study of different samples.
