APT_Dropper_Win64_TEARDROP_1


Description

This rule is intended match specific sequences of opcode found within TEARDROP, including those that decode the embedded payload. TEARDROP is a memory only dropper that can read files and registry keys, XOR decode an embedded payload, and load the payload into memory. TEARDROP persists as a Windows service and has been observed dropping Cobalt Strike BEACON into memory. (comment by Nextron: prone to False Positives)
