ATT&CK analytic guidance
DET0392 Multi-Platform Software Discovery Behavior Chain
AN1100 Analytic 1100
Adversary spawns a process or script to enumerate installed software using WMI, registry, or PowerShell, potentially followed by additional discovery or evasion behavior.
AN1101 Analytic 1101
Adversary invokes 'dpkg -l', 'rpm -qa', or other package managers via shell or script to enumerate installed software.
AN1102 Analytic 1102
Adversary runs 'system_profiler SPApplicationsDataType' or queries plist files to enumerate software via Terminal or scripts.
AN1103 Analytic 1103
Adversary uses cloud-native APIs or CLI (e.g., AWS Systems Manager, Azure Resource Graph) to list installed software on cloud workloads.
AN1104 Analytic 1104
Adversary uses 'esxcli software vib list' to enumerate installed VIBs, drivers, and modules.

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.

Exact source tags are not semantic relevance verdicts. Review actual rule conditions and observation points; imported rules are not backend-compiled or live-validated.
Pinned research references. No browser attack runner or production-validated detector is asserted. Imported procedures remain unvalidated; any bounded lab evidence has its own scope. ATT&CK / Atomic provenance · Detection provenance.
