For example, at.exe can be used to establish persistence and keep reverse shell sessions alive.Īt.exe can also be used to run a command on remote systems. The Task Scheduler service must be running.Īdversaries utilize at.exe to create recurring tasks that run periodically.The user must be logged on as a Local Administrator.There are two requirements to use the at command in Windows: In addition to a graphical user interface (GUI) for Task Scheduler, Microsoft Windows offers two native command-line utilities for task scheduling: schtasks.exe and at.exe. Sub-technique 2: Scheduled Task/Job: T1053.002 At (Windows) An adversary may use the at command to schedule one-time execution of malicious code at a point in time in the future. The at utility in Linux allows users to schedule commands to be executed only once at a particular time. Although this sub-technique covers the at command within Linux, it may be extended to other Unix-like operating systems. Sub-technique 1: Scheduled Task/Job: T1053.001 At (Linux)Īt is a command-line tool that allows users to schedule commands in various operating systems, such as Unix-like operating systems (e.g., BSD, macOS, and Linux distributions) and Microsoft Windows. Legitimate users, like domain administrators, use scheduled tasks to create and run operational tasks automatically. Operating systems and platforms provide utilities to automate the execution of programs or scripts on a defined schedule:Ī scheduled task or job is a command, program, or script to be executed periodically (e.g., every Friday at 1:00 a.m.) or when a certain event occurs (e.g., a user logs on the system). Adversaries use task scheduling utilities of operating systems to execute malicious payloads on a defined schedule or at system startup to achieve persistence. Otherwise, they would need to repeat their initial access tactics to access the target system each time and risk being detected. The Red Report 2021 - Top Ten MITRE ATT&CK Techniques MITRE ATT&CK T053 Scheduled Task/JobĮstablishing persistence in the victim’s network is an essential objective for adversaries. In this blog, we explained the T1053 Scheduled Task/Job technique of the MITRE ATT&CK framework. We are continuing our blog series on the techniques listed in The Picus Red Report 2021 Top Ten List. The study analyzes over 200,000 malware samples and gives insights to help you defend. Picus Labs published the Red Report 2021 research and the 10 Most Prevalent MITRE ATT&CK techniques used by adversaries.
