CAPEC の説明

An adversary deploys a keylogger in an effort to obtain credentials directly from a system's user. After capturing all the keystrokes made by a user, the adversary can analyze the data and determine which string are likely to be passwords or other credential related information.

実行フロー

1) Explore

[Determine which user's credentials to capture] Since this is a more targeted attack, an adversary will first identify a particular user they wish the capture the credentials of.

2) Experiment

[Deploy keylogger] Once a user is identified, an adversary will deploy a keylogger to the user's system in one of many ways.

技法
  • Send a phishing email with a malicious attachment that installs a keylogger on a user's system
  • Conceal a keylogger behind fake software and get the user to download the software
  • Get a user to click on a malicious URL that directs them to a webpage that will install a keylogger without their knowledge
  • Gain access to the user's system through a vulnerability and manually install a keylogger
3) Experiment

[Record keystrokes] Once the keylogger is deployed on the user's system, the adversary will record keystrokes over a period of time.

4) Experiment

[Analyze data and determine credentials] Using the captured keystrokes, the adversary will be able to determine the credentials of the user.

技法
  • Search for repeated sequences that are following by the enter key
  • Search for repeated sequences that are not found in a dictionary
  • Search for several backspaces in a row. This could indicate a mistyped password. The correct password can then be inferred using the whole key sequence
5) Exploit

[Use found credentials] After the adversary has found the credentials for the target user, they will then use them to gain access to a system in order to perform some follow-up attack

前提条件

The ability to install the keylogger, either in person or remote.

緩和策

Strong physical security can help reduce the ability of an adversary to install a keylogger.
