Typical Attacks (10)
▼MITRE ATT&CK does not currently catalogue Shadow, so this is our assessment of the techniques it uses, drawn from public reporting. The techniques themselves, and every "what that means" definition below, come from MITRE ATT&CK v19.2. Confidence: medium. Treat it as orientation, not attribution.
-
T1059.001 PowerShell Execution
What they do: shadow executes PowerShell scripts to stage payloads and manipulate system processes.
What that means: Adversaries may abuse PowerShell commands and scripts for execution.
-
What they do: shadow persists via Registry Run Keys and startup folders to ensure recurring execution after reboots.
What that means: Adversaries may achieve persistence by adding a program to a startup folder or referencing it with a Registry run key.
-
T1685 Disable or Modify Tools Defense Impairment
What they do: shadow disables security tools like antivirus and monitoring agents to evade detection during execution.
What that means: Adversaries may disable, degrade, or tamper with security tools or applications (e.g., endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools, intrusion detection systems (IDS), antivirus, logging agents, sensors, etc.) to impair or reduce visibility of defensive capabilities.
-
T1070.004 File Deletion Stealth
What they do: shadow deletes Volume Shadow Copies and backup files via command-line utilities to prevent recovery.
What that means: Adversaries may delete files left behind by the actions of their intrusion activity.
-
T1018 Remote System Discovery Discovery
What they do: shadow performs remote system discovery to map the victim network and identify high-value targets.
What that means: Adversaries may attempt to get a listing of other systems by IP address, hostname, or other logical identifier on a network that may be used for Lateral Movement from the current system.
-
T1049 System Network Connections Discovery Discovery
What they do: shadow discovers system network connections to identify active services and potential exfiltration paths.
What that means: Adversaries may attempt to get a listing of network connections to or from the compromised system they are currently accessing or from remote systems by querying for information over the network.
-
T1135 Network Share Discovery Discovery
What they do: shadow uses network share discovery to identify accessible SMB shares for lateral movement and data targeting.
What that means: Adversaries may look for folders and drives shared on remote systems as a means of identifying sources of information to gather as a precursor for Collection and to identify potential systems of interest for Lateral Movement.
-
T1021.002 SMB/Windows Admin Shares Lateral Movement
What they do: shadow moves laterally through SMB/Windows Admin Shares to compromise additional networked systems.
What that means: Adversaries may use Valid Accounts to interact with a remote network share using Server Message Block (SMB).
-
T1486 Data Encrypted for Impact Impact
What they do: shadow encrypts victim files using custom ransomware binaries, targeting documents and databases for impact.
What that means: Adversaries may encrypt data on target systems or on large numbers of systems in a network to interrupt availability to system and network resources.
-
T1490 Inhibit System Recovery Impact
What they do: shadow calls system recovery inhibitors like kill.bat to disable restore mechanisms and maximize damage.
What that means: Adversaries may delete or remove built-in data and turn off services designed to aid in the recovery of a corrupted system to prevent recovery.
