Exfiltration Over C2 Channel

ExfiltrationAndroid, iOS

Where this stands

No Sigma rule can address this — the telemetry MITRE names has no Sigma logsource behind it.

Sigma has no logsource taxonomy for mobile platforms. MITRE's telemetry here is mobile EDR and device APIs, which no Sigma rule can address.

What the technique is

Adversaries may steal data by exfiltrating it over an existing command and control channel. Stolen data is encoded into the normal communications channel using the same protocol as command and control communications.

What MITRE says you would watch

  • AN1671

    Exfiltration Over C2 Channel can be difficult to detect, and therefore enterprises may be better served focusing on detection at other stages of adversarial behavior.

  • AN1672

    Exfiltration Over C2 Channel can be difficult to detect, and therefore enterprises may be better served focusing on detection at other stages of adversarial behavior.
