To detect files that use DDE, you can scan the strings of the file and look for keywords such asDDEAUTOorDDE. This can be time-consuming and some strings might be missed. To make the process easier, you can useYARA rulesthat are designed to identify keywords and features used by DDE. ...
MITRE classifiesemail hiding rules(T1564.008) as a technique used for defense evasion. One APT known to use this technique is FIN4, a financially motivated threat actor that creates rules in victims' accounts to automatically delete emails containing words such as "hacked," "phish," and "malwar...
After adversaries breach a system, they usually consider how they will maintain uninterrupted access through events such as system restarts...
Over 70% of all cybercrimes begin with a phishing orspear-phishing attack. Hackers love to usephishing techniquesto steal user credentials, either for their own use, or more commonly to sell to criminals on the dark net. What Is It? Phishingis a social engineering trick which attempts to t...
SentinelOne’s MDR experts achieved an incredible 47 minutes between detection and escalation to the customer — reported by MITRE as MTTD, but often referred to as Mean-Time-To-Escalate (MTTE) —ensuring that within 50 minutes of each major stage of the attack, the customer was presented ...
Ideally, a token would only work when used from the device to which it was issued. That is, if replayed from a different device, such as one an attacker controls, they would be rejected. A key part of Microsoft’s protections against token theft is the use of tokens th...
Security teams use NDR to establish baselines of their networks' normal behavior. After this stage, analysts can see suspicious traffic patterns and triggered alerts. The technology is not only based on signatures, but behaviors as well, making it adaptive to changes in attack techniques so securit...
See the Mitre Att&ck matrix. IOA detection methods aim to detect this activity as it's evolving. IOA Data is Monitored in Real-Time Because IOA data changes as an attacker progresses through the cyberattack lifecycle, the data needs to be monitored in real-time. IOA data could indicate ...
Lateral movement refers to techniques cyber attackers use to progressively move through a network, searching for targeted key data and assets. Lateral movement takes place following the initial breach of anendpoint. This attack methodology requires the additional compromise of user account credentials. U...
it as their primary means of business communication, and many threat actors using it as an attack vector. As Teams allows users to communicate with people outside of their organization by default [1], it becomes an easy entry point for potential attackers to use as a social engineering ...
