Techniques & procedures
6 distinct techniques documented for this family, organized by ATT&CK tactic.
Execution
2 techniquesAccording to the system logs, VerdantBamboo created a file in /etc/cron.d/ named ssync that would execute /home/egnyteservice/ssync.sh.
The command string is parsed out of the server response... There are three supported command types... builtin Executes command text on the native shell.
Persistence
1 techniquePrivilege Escalation
1 techniqueLateral Movement
1 techniqueVolexity’s investigation determined that VerdantBamboo was able to access the Storage Sync system using valid credentials via secure shell (SSH) with an unprivileged account named egnyteservice.
Command and Control
3 techniquesThese BRICKSTORM instances use the websocket protocol handler for connecting to the C2.
The threat actor then connected over SSH to deploy a previously undocumented backdoor, which Volexity tracks under the name PLENET.
The appliance was also making TLS connections to one of Google’s public DNS servers (8.8.8.8). It appeared to be using Google to perform queries via DNS over HTTPS
