How many distinct mitigation categories and detection strategies are formally evaluated in the baseline audit framework for T1102 web services?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| Identifies exactly 2 known mitigations to verify. | Missed | Passed |
| Identifies 1 detection strategy to assess. | Missed | Passed |

Adversaries may use an existing, legitimate external Web service as a means for relaying data to/from a compromised system. Popular websites, cloud services, and social media acting as a mechanism for C2 may give a significant amount of cover due to the likelihood that hosts within a network are already communicating with them prior to a compromise. Using common services, such as those offered by Google, Microsoft, or Twitter, makes it easier for adversaries to hide in expected noise. Web service providers commonly use SSL/TLS encryption, giving adversaries an added level of protection.
Use of Web services may also protect back-end C2 infrastructure from discovery through malware binary analysis while also enabling operational resiliency (since this infrastructure may be dynamically changed).
Platforms: ESXi, Linux, Windows, macOS
Identify Attack Surface: Determine if the target environment is susceptible to Web Service by examining the target platforms (ESXi, Linux, Windows).
Assess Existing Defenses: Review whether mitigations for T1102 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.
Network intrusion detection and prevention systems that use network signatures to identify traffic for specific adversary malware can be used to mitigate activity at the network level.
