Valid Accounts: Default Accounts
![Defense Evasion [Mitre] icon](/media/2024/04/08/icons8-burglar.svg){kind=small}
Adversaries may obtain and abuse credentials of a default account as a means of gaining Initial Access, Persistence, Privilege Escalation, or Defense Evasion. Default accounts are those that are built-into an OS, such as the Guest or Administrator accounts on Windows systems. Default accounts also include default factory/provider set accounts on other types of systems, software, or devices, including the …
Read moreEvasion using direct Syscalls
In the Windows operating system, conventional malware frequently utilizes strategies involving the invocation of specific functions from the kernel32.dll library, such as VirtualAlloc, VirtualProtect, and CreateThread. A closer inspection of the call stack reveals that the functions employed from kernel32.dll eventually trigger corresponding functions within the ntdll.dll library. This is facilitated by the ntdll.dll library, which serves …
Process Argument Spoofing
Process Argument Spoofing is a technique used by attackers to hide their true intentions by changing the command line arguments of a process after it has started.
--windows-- This is done by tampering with the Process Environment Block (PEB).
The PEB is a structure in Windows that holds various information about a running process. Within the PEB, there's …
Read moreNixImports
A .NET malware loader employs API-Hashing and dynamic invocation to circumvent static analysis. NixImports utilizes managed API-Hashing to dynamically determine most of its required functions during runtime. For function resolution, HInvoke needs two specific hashes: typeHash and methodHash, representing the type name and the method's full name, respectively. At runtime, HInvoke scans the entire mscorlib to locate the corresponding type …
Read morePyArmor
Pyarmor is a command-line tool primarily used for the obfuscation of Python scripts. While its original design aims to protect Python code from unauthorized access and reverse engineering, its capabilities also make it a tool of interest for malware obfuscation. Pyarmor achieves this through several key features, each with potential applications in both legitimate protection and malicious exploitation:
- …
VboxEnumShares
This method represents a variation of the WNetGetProviderName(WNNC_NET_RDR2SAMPLE, ...) approach, which is typically employed to determine if the network share's provider name is specific, such as VirtualBox. Instead of relying on this well-established technique, we utilize WNetOpenEnum and WNetEnumResource functions to iterate through each network resource. The primary objective is to identify VirtualBox shared folders, which typically feature "VirtualBox" or …
Manipulating Debug Logs
Using the sed -i command, specific entries in debug logs, such as errors (segfault, SystemError) or trace information (e.g., filenames like main.cc), are surgically removed. This allows attackers to target only incriminating evidence without erasing the entire log file. The process preserves the structure and authenticity of the log while removing key evidence of exploitation or system errors.

Read moreBad String Format
Bad string format is a technique used by malware to evade detection and analysis by OllyDbg, a popular debugger used by security researchers and analysts. This technique involves using malformed strings that exploit a known bug in OllyDbg, causing the debugger to crash or behave unexpectedly.
For example, the malware may use a string with multiple %s inputs, which …
