Automated Exfiltration

Adversaries may exfiltrate data, such as sensitive documents, through the use of automated processing after being gathered during Collection. When automated exfiltration is used, other exfiltration techniques likely apply as well to transfer the information out of the network, such as Exfiltration Over C2 Channel and Exfiltration Over Alternative Protocol.

Open detection, hunting, mitigation, and evidence workspace

Detection logic

Monitor process file access patterns and network behavior. Unrecognized processes or scripts that appear to be traversing file systems and sending network traffic may be suspicious.

Observed actors

Correlated CTI and IR reports

Cyber Knowledge context

Use these routes to move from the ATT&CK behavior into explanation, implementation, evidence handling, validation, and defensive operations. Relevance is generated from explicit identifiers/names and governed topic mappings; it is not attribution evidence.

MITRE mitigations

No ATT&CK mitigation relationship is published for this technique. Apply risk-based controls and verify scope.

  • AN1113 · Analytic 1113 — Detection of automated tools or scripts periodically transmitting data to external destinations using scheduled tasks or background processes.
  • AN1114 · Analytic 1114 — Background scripts (e.g., via cron) or daemons transmitting data repeatedly to remote IPs or URLs.
  • AN1115 · Analytic 1115 — Observation of LaunchAgents or LaunchDaemons establishing periodic external connections indicative of automated data transfer.
