| Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) |
| Generally speaking, attacks are broad in nature – that is: |
- The infection mechanism is a general mechanism to entice the largest number of potential victims
- The exploit/attack mechanism is one that is generally available/known
- The payload is a general payload selected to benefit the attacker regardless of the system/user that is infected. In general, the motive is profit driven – whether to steal financial credentials directly from the victim, or to have the victim’s system be used in a botnet, that can be rented out to spammers or other criminals.
|
| With Advanced Persistent Threats (APT), the intent and purpose of the attacks is different; however, many of the attack tools and methods may be shared with those in broad/general attacks. Wikipedia defines APT as, “a term used to refer to the long-term pattern of targeted sophisticated hacking attacks aimed at Western governments, companies and political activists, and by extension, also to refer to the groups behind these attacks.” |
| Examples of APT include, |
- Spear phishing or other targeted attacks using information to leverage a user’s trust to download, install, open, view, or execute a document/application. This may include gaining information about a particular user’s online habits, office projects, or social network to interact with and/or impersonate a friend/collogue to leverage their trust.
- Malicious payloads that have been specifically crafted to gain access to specific systems, users/accounts, and/or information/files within an organization. These may also include specific mechanisms for evading known detection/defensive mechanisms (for example, A/V, IDS, firewall rules) within an organization.
- Many of these payloads are designed to be less noisy than what are typically seen with broad/general attack payloads.
- Targeted exploitation mechanisms for a particular organization:
- May involve the case of a specially crafted or 0-day exploit, as was the case in Operation Aurora
- May involve the physical installation of equipment or use of infected USB thumb drives, as has been acknowledged by the military
- May involve the physical installation of people – a trusted insider, as has been the case with espionage cases.
|
| The intent and purpose of APT is usually for intelligence and/or counter-intelligence purposes. APT could take the form of everything from an ex-boyfriend/girlfriend, to a corporate rival, to an extremist organization, to a nation-state. In each case, the advisory is: motivated, focused, and has the capabilities to engage and threaten their particular target. |
