Dwell Time
0 days, 7 hours, 33 minutes
Extended Dwell Time Impact
For 20+ hours, this malware remained undetected — a half-day window that permitted the adversary to complete initial execution, establish basic persistence, and perform initial system enumeration.
Comparative Context
Industry studies report a median dwell time closer to 21–24 days. This case represents rapid detection and containment within hours rather than days.

Why It Matters
Every additional day of dwell time is not just an abstract number — it is attacker opportunity. Each day equates to more time for lateral movement, stealth persistence, and intelligence gathering.

Why it matters: if any endpoint relies solely on a missed engine, this malware can operate with zero alerts. Prevention‑first controls close that gap regardless of signature lag.
Behavioral Storyline — How the Malware Operates
Significant process manipulation (100.00% of behavior) suggests code injection, process hollowing, or privilege escalation techniques. The malware is actively compromising running processes to hide its activities.
Behavior Categories (weighted)
Weight values represent the frequency and intensity of malware interactions with specific system components. Higher weights indicate more aggressive targeting of that category. Each operation (registry access, file modification, network connection, etc.) contributes to the category’s total weight, providing a quantitative measure of the malware’s behavioral focus.
| Category | Weight | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| Process | 1 | 100.00% |
MITRE ATT&CK Mapping
- T1055 – Writes to the memory another process
- T1027 – The binary likely contains encrypted or compressed data
- T1027.002 – The binary likely contains encrypted or compressed data
- T1057 – Enumerates the modules from a process (may be used to locate base addresses in process injection)
- T1071 – At least one IP Address, Domain, or File Name was found in a crypto call
- T1071 – Binary file triggered multiple YARA rules
- T1071 – The PE file contains an overlay
- T1071 – Yara detections observed in process dumps, payloads or dropped files
- T1542.003 – May use bcdedit to modify the Windows boot settings
- T1562.001 – Launches processes in debugging mode, may be used to hinder debugging
- T1497 – Checks if the current process is being debugged
- T1518.001 – Checks if the current process is being debugged
Following the Trail — Network & DNS Activity
Outbound activity leans on reputable infrastructure (e.g., CDNs, cloud endpoints) to blend in. TLS sessions and
HTTP calls show routine beaconing and IP‑lookup behavior that can masquerade as normal browsing.

Hunting tip: alert on unknown binaries initiating TLS to IP‑lookup services or unusual CDN endpoints — especially early in execution.

What To Do Now — Practical Defense Playbook
- Contain unknowns: block first‑run binaries by default — signatures catch up, containment works now.
- EDR controls: alert on keyboard hooks, screen capture APIs, VM/sandbox checks, and command‑shell launches.
- Registry watch: flag queries/sets under policy paths (e.g., …\FipsAlgorithmPolicy\*).
- Network rules: inspect outbound TLS to IP‑lookup services and unexpected CDN endpoints.
- Hunt broadly: sweep endpoints for the indicators above and quarantine positives immediately.
Dwell time equals attacker opportunity. Reducing execution privileges and egress shrinks that window even when vendors disagree.
