Malware Exploits & Malicious Ransomware Services

CyberSecOp uses MITRE ATT&CK to help identify Malware Exploits & Malicious Ransomware and protect your organization's systems. MITRE ATT&CK enables us to better understand adversary behavior, create potential attack scenarios, assess their defenses, identify gaps that need to be filled in priority order, and ultimately accelerate incident response through improved threat intelligence.

Malicious Cyber Actors Continue to Exploit Log4Shell, it is now September 2, 2022, and the exploit was discovered in December 2021, multiple threat actor groups have exploited Log4Shell on unpatched, public-facing servers. As part of this exploitation, suspected APT actors implanted loader malware on compromised systems with embedded executables enabling remote command and control (C2). In one confirmed compromise, these APT actors were able to move laterally inside the network, gain access to a disaster recovery network, and collect and exfiltrate sensitive data.

Zero Day Exploits are discovered almost every day and no organization is immune

Both Microsoft and Google admitted there have already been attacks leveraging this zero-day weakness and keeping some information away from the public as a safety measure, stating that full details on how they have been exploited worked to protect the public until most users. Unfortunately, Microsoft, Apple, VMware, and Google have been updated there seem faster than ever before to reduce the possibility of zero-day exploits. But like ransomware, it would seem zero-day exploits are here to say.

With CyberSecOp we can identify and block advanced threats and improve zero-day protection. Proactive protection against zero-day malware and phishing with CyberSecOp.

Preventing Zero Day exploits Attacks using MITRE ATT&CK Framework

Some of the applications of the CyberSecOp solution include the prevention of flow execution programs and memory integrity checks to ensure the presence of agentless devices.

CyberSecOp offers a variety of tools and services to protect your organization against exploits. Once exploits or vulnerabilities are discovered, they must be patched as soon as possible or they will cease to be exploited.

In actuality, breaches do occur. The trick is in how quickly and efficiently you respond to them. When confronted with dangers, many firms react quickly. With CyberSecOp and MITRE Enterprise ATT&CK integrated, you can begin acting proactively. MITRE ATT&CK offers a structured method for describing the TTPs and behaviors of adversaries. Threat hunting begins with intelligence, and ATT&CK gives hunters the foundation upon which to create their own theories and conduct their own threat searches.

What is MITRE ATT&CK Framework?

IT R E AT T& C K1 is an open framework and knowledge base of adversary tactics and techniques based on real-world observations. ATT&CK provides a common taxonomy of the tactical objectives of adversaries and their methods. Having a taxonomy by itself has many valuable uses, such as providing a common vocabulary for exchanging information with others in the security community. But it also serves as a real technical framework for classifying your current detection efforts and identifying gaps where you are blind to certain types of attack behaviors.

CyberSecOp is a Penetration Testing Provider That utilizes MITRE ATT&CK Framework

Since they assist you in assessing the security of your IT systems by simulating genuine cyberattacks, penetration testing services are crucial to protecting your company network. When performing penetration testing, the supplier consciously attempts to gain access to your systems, gadgets, and data. We advise hiring a penetration testing partner that makes use of the MITRE ATT&CK framework.

CyberSecOp is a great option if you're looking for a penetration testing firm with experience in the MITRE ATT&CK framework. The following are the sources from which our internal team derives CyberSecOp methodology, frameworks, and standards, which are then improved upon:

MITRE ATT&CK Red Team Penetration Testing Services

These services are an essential part of ‘Network and Application Lifecycle management and are used to ratify security from the initial installation and throughout the device's lifetime. The scope of the service is to conduct regular network perimeter device exploration and security audits.

Reports are delivered using secure emails, and the information gathered by the service includes:

Malware Analysis and Reverse Engineering

Malware detection and analysis

Our cyber experts examine files using static and dynamic analysis to identify threats and create comprehensive reports. We use industry-leading techniques, such as automated sandbox detonation and observation, as well as low-level reverse engineering, disassembly, and decompilation, to provide actionable recommendations to guide your next steps.

Analysis of Malicious Document Files, Analyzing Protected Executables and Analyzing Web-Based Malware

• In-Depth Analysis of Malicious Browser Scripts and In-Depth Analysis of Malicious Executables

• Malware Analysis Using Memory Forensics and Malware Code and Behavioral Analysis Fundamentals

• Windows Assembly Code Concepts for Reverse-Engineering and Common Windows Malware Characteristics in Assembly

Methods for reverse engineering a malware sample

The most obvious approach is to reverse engineer a piece of malware completely. This obviously takes a long time, so other methods are more practical.

• Exploitation techniques: Another approach is to concentrate on a piece of malware's exploitation techniques. Occasionally, you will come across malware that employs a novel exploitation technique or exploits a zero-day vulnerability. In this case, you may be only interested in a specific exploitation technique, allowing you to timebox your analysis and focus solely on the exploitation mechanisms.

• Malware will frequently obfuscate itself, making it difficult to analyze. 

  You may come across malware that you have seen before that has not been obfuscated. 

  In that case, you may want to limit your efforts to reverse engineering the new parts.

• Methods of encryption: Ransomware is a common type of malware these days. 

  Ransomware encrypts and locks the victim's files, making them inaccessible or unreadable. 

  When implementing encryption mechanisms, ransomware authors frequently make mistakes. 

• C&C communication: When looking at malware, this is something that is quite common. Analysts are frequently interested in determining the communication protocol used by a piece of malware on the client side and the server on the command and control side. The communication protocol can actually reveal a lot about the capabilities of the malware.

• Attribution: Murky area resembling dark art. It usually entails a lot of guesswork, knowledge of malicious hacking teams, and examining multiple pieces of malware.

  Categorization and clustering: From a broader perspective, malware can be reverse-engineered. This entails looking at malware in bulk and performing broad-stroke analysis on a variety of malware rather than conducting a deep dive.

Malware Analysis and Reverse Engineering.

Simple endpoint attacks became complex, multi-stage operations. Ransomware attacks hit small businesses and huge corporations alike. Cryptomining malware attacks gave cyber criminals an easy foothold in company networks. It was a year of massive data leaks, expensive ransomware payouts, and a vast, new, complicated threat landscape. And it this year saw cyber criminals up their threat game in a big way.

• Strong understanding of the intelligence lifecycle and associated analytic methodologies (Cyber Kill Chain, Diamond Model, ATT&CK, etc.).

• Practical understanding of malware analysis and/or reverse engineering, and the ability to develop malware detection signatures (e.g. YARA).

CyberSecOp can identify sophisticated attacks avoid dropping files and instead rely on system tools to run malicious code directly from remote or hidden sources. The absence of files leaves anti-virus scanners without the necessary triggers and forensics without persistent artifacts to recover. While security solutions have evolved, many don’t check memory or review behaviors at runtime. Some rely on static approaches that don’t dynamically recognize new attack methods.
