ATT&CK analytic guidance

DET0416 Detection of File Transfer Protocol-Based C2 (FTP, FTPS, SMB, TFTP)

AN1169 Analytic 1169

Detects FTP, SMB, or TFTP traffic initiated by suspicious processes like PowerShell, cmd.exe, or rundll32.exe—especially with large outbound file transfers or unbalanced traffic volume.

AN1170 Analytic 1170

Detects usage of FTP, SCP, or TFTP by non-interactive shells or automation scripts transferring large data volumes to untrusted IPs.

AN1171 Analytic 1171

Detects Automator, AppleScript, or Terminal executing curl, lftp, or TFTP for binary transfer to untrusted IPs or unusual ports.

AN1172 Analytic 1172

Detects file movement or outbound TFTP/FTP transfers from ESXi host initiated via shell commands or injected scripts, particularly from scratch partitions or /tmp.

AN1173 Analytic 1173

Detects internal hosts generating large outbound FTP/TFTP/SMB sessions to external IPs, or file transfers using non-standard ports and application mismatches (e.g., FTP over port 80).

Threat actor context

These are explicit actor-to-technique associations in the existing Threat Matrix snapshot, not attribution of an event or proof that a detector identifies the actor. No tool-to-actor relationship is inferred.
