Attack Patterns CAPEC-573 — Process Footprinting
CAPEC-573

Process Footprinting

TLP:CLEAR

Description

Typical severity: Low. Likelihood of attack: Low. An adversary exploits functionality meant to identify information about the currently running processes on the target system to an authorized user. By knowing what processes are running on the target system, the adversary can learn about the target environment as a means towards further malicious behavior.

Mitigation

Identify programs that may be used to acquire process information and block them by using a software restriction policy or tools that restrict program execution by using a process allowlist.
