ATT&CK MATRIX

Reference · MITRE

The full MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise kill chain — every tactic column and technique cell, collected fresh from MITRE's public STIX. Cell intensity = how many tracked threat groups use the technique; = cited in advisories we collect. Click a technique for detail; filter by group to see one actor's playbook.

TECHNIQUE · T1573.001 — Symmetric Cryptography
command and control ESXiLinuxmacOSNetwork DevicesWindows SUB-TECHNIQUE of T1573 MITRE page ↗

Adversaries may employ a known symmetric encryption algorithm to conceal command and control traffic rather than relying on any inherent protections provided by a communication protocol. Symmetric encryption algorithms use the same key for plaintext encryption and ciphertext decryption. Common symmetric encryption algorithms include AES, DES, 3DES, Blowfish, and RC4.
