We are preparing a tabular findings report for a C2 traffic redirection vulnerability (T1090). What precise values should be placed in the Severity and Impact columns for the 'Proxy technique applicable' finding?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| Specifies Medium as the severity rating for applicable proxy findings. | Passed | Passed |
| Specifies Command And Control as the impact for applicable proxy findings. | Missed | Passed |

Adversaries may use a connection proxy to direct network traffic between systems or act as an intermediary for network communications to a command and control server to avoid direct connections to their infrastructure. Many tools exist that enable traffic redirection through proxies or port redirection, including HTRAN, ZXProxy, and ZXPortMap. Adversaries use these types of proxies to manage command and control communications, reduce the number of simultaneous outbound network connections, provide resiliency in the face of connection loss, or to ride over existing trusted communications paths between victims to avoid suspicion. Adversaries may chain together multiple proxies to further disguise the source of malicious traffic.
Adversaries can also take advantage of routing schemes in Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) to proxy command and control traffic.
Platforms: ESXi, Linux, macOS, Network Devices, Windows
Identify Attack Surface: Determine if the target environment is susceptible to Proxy by examining the target platforms (ESXi, Linux, macOS).
Assess Existing Defenses: Review whether mitigations for T1090 are in place. If defenses are absent or misconfigured, this technique may be exploitable.
Execute Test: Use tools and methods described in the MITRE ATT&CK page and external references below.
Note: No Atomic Red Team tests available for this technique. See Atomic Red Team GitHub for updates.
Traffic to known anonymity networks and C2 infrastructure can be blocked through the use of network allow and block lists. It should be noted that this kind of blocking may be circumvented by other techniques like Domain Fronting.
