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 · T1601 — Modify System Image
defense impairment Network Devices MITRE page ↗

Adversaries may make changes to the operating system of embedded network devices to weaken defenses and provide new capabilities for themselves. On such devices, the operating systems are typically monolithic and most of the device functionality and capabilities are contained within a single file. To change the operating system, the adversary typically only needs to affect this one file, replacing or modifying it. This can either be done live in memory during system runtime for immediate effect, or in storage to implement the change on the next boot of the network device.
