Ransomware

Ransomware is a multi-stage attack that starts with a compromised device and ends in encryption and a ransom note. Darktrace/Network takes targeted action at every stage of the attack.

Initial Intrusion

Darktrace DETECT/Network has revealed well-known exploits such as Log4J, Hafnium, Kaseya, as well as thousands of lesser-known exploits on a regular basis.

Sample analysis of Darktrace/Network

Every threat is different, but here are some unusual patterns Darktrace/Network might assess when revealing this type of attack:

Unusual Incoming RDP

Unusual File Download

Unusual .exe File Torrenting

Application Protocol to Uncommon Port

Large Numbers of Connections to New Endpoints

...

Establish Foothold and Beaconing

When an attacker attempts to make contact with and remotely control a device, Darktrace pieces together subtle anomalies.

Darktrace RESPOND/Network neutralizes this activity by blocking specific connections, enforcing the ‘pattern of life’ or quarantining the device.

Sample analysis of Darktrace/Network

Every threat is different, but here are some unusual patterns Darktrace/Network might assess when revealing this type of attack:

Beaconing to a Young Endpoint

Anomalous File Downloads

Unusual Data Download / Upload

Beaconing Activity to External Rare Endpoint

Connections to Unusual Endpoint

...

Lateral Movement

As an attacker begins to increase their knowledge of the network, perform scans, and escalate their privileges - for instance by obtaining admin credentials, Darktrace DETECT/Network correlates thousands of data points.

RESPOND/Network neutralizes this activity blocking specific connections or enforcing the ‘pattern of life’

Sample analysis of Darktrace/Network

Every threat is different, but here are some unusual patterns Darktrace/Network might assess when revealing this type of attack:

Unusual SMB Enumeration

Suspicious Network Scan Activity

Unusual Admin SMB or RDP Sessions

New or Uncommon Service Control

Unusual SSH

...

Data Exfiltration

Whether smash and grab or a low and slow, Darktrace DETECT/Network identifies subtle deviations in activity.

Darktrace RESPOND/Network neutralizes this activity by blocking specific connections, enforcing the ‘pattern of life’ or quarantining the device.

Sample analysis of Darktrace/Network

Every threat is different, but here are some unusual patterns Darktrace/Network might assess when revealing this type of attack:

Anomalous SMB Traffic

Uncommon 1 GiB Outbound

Data Sent to Rare Domain

Unusual External Data Transfer

Unusual Data Download / Upload to Rare Destination

...

Data Encryption

Even if familiar tools and methods are used to conduct encryption - whether symmetric or asymmetric - Darktrace detects the activity without using static rules or signatures.

Darktrace RESPOND/Network neutralizes this activity by blocking specific connections, enforcing the ‘pattern of life’ or quarantining the device.

Crypto-Mining

Crypto-mining is notoriously difficult to detect, and it can form just one phase of an attacker’s plan to infiltrate a network.

Darktrace shines a light on open ports and internet-facing devices you didn’t know about, and detects the first stages of an attack before crypto-mining can even begin. It also alerts to crypto-mining activity itself, and can be configured to stop the activity autonomously.

Sample analysis of Darktrace/Network

Every threat is different, but here are some unusual patterns Darktrace/Network might assess when revealing this type of attack:

Crypto Currency Mining Activity

Slow Beaconing Activity to External Rare

Suspicious Beacons to Rare PHP Endpoint

SMB Drive Write

...

Credential Stuffing

Credential stuffing is a type of brute-force attack that relies on automated tools to test large volumes of stolen usernames and passwords across multiple sites until one works.

On the network side, Darktrace can detect instances of credential stuffing through a number of unusual behaviors.
