Account Discovery: Локальная учетная запись
Other sub-techniques of Account Discovery (4)
Adversaries may attempt to get a listing of local system accounts. This information can help adversaries determine which local accounts exist on a system to aid in follow-on behavior.
Commands such as net user
and net localgroup
of the Net utility and id
and groups
on macOS and Linux can list local users and groups.(Citation: Mandiant APT1)(Citation: id man page)(Citation: groups man page) On Linux, local users can also be enumerated through the use of the /etc/passwd
file. On macOS the dscl . list /Users
command can be used to enumerate local accounts.

Обнаружение
System and network discovery techniques normally occur throughout an operation as an adversary learns the environment. Data and events should not be viewed in isolation, but as part of a chain of behavior that could lead to other activities, such as Lateral Movement, based on the information obtained.
Monitor processes and command-line arguments for actions that could be taken to gather system and network information. Remote access tools with built-in features may interact directly with the Windows API to gather information. Information may also be acquired through Windows system management tools such as Windows Management Instrumentation and PowerShell.
Monitor for processes that can be used to enumerate user accounts, such as net.exe
and net1.exe
, especially when executed in quick succession.(Citation: Elastic - Koadiac Detection with EQL)
