A chain that uses a multi-stage malicious Word document to evade defenses and exfiltrate data. The macro enabled document will first load a previously staged C2 config file and execute mshta.exe to run a second stage HTA payload which downloads a secondary Pneuma Agent as the third stage. This chain will also execute and collect keystrokes and exfiltrate data using OneDrive. Similar behaviours were observed in APT37 when targetting South Korean users, North Korean defectors, policy makers, journalists and human rights activists.


Is my host protected against APT37?

This chain will stage PneumaEX in the System32 directory, edit the registery for persistance of PneumaEX, kill GOP specific processes and services, compress and exfiltrate data to AWS S3, and open GOP extortion image.
To execute this chain in its entirety, you must run your agent as Administrator. To stay true to the Sony attack, we suggest using a Windows executable agent and communicate over HTTP. 


APT38 Sony Hack

Find files which have names that contain "user" or "pass", check the files to ensure they are not in binary format and contain
atleast 1 special character. Compress the files and serve them on a website that will only host two requests before shutting 
down, then delete artifacts created by the previous TTPs. 


APT40 Find and Exfiltrate

Collects information from the Active Directory using AdFind, stores scan results, compresses results using user installed 7zip, and exfiltrates results to Dropbox.


ExBox

Enumerate the users home directory then attempt to dump hashes via Kerberoasting and AS-REProasting. Ingress then exfiltrate data using Rclone.


Conti Collect and Exfiltrate

Discover recently used files on a system and prepare a staging directory. Copy all of those 
discovered files to the staging directory then compress the directory to prepare it for exfiltration.
