DET0316 Detection Strategy for Disk Content Wipe via Direct Access and Overwrite

AN0882 Analytic 0882

Processes attempting raw disk access via \\.\PhysicalDrive paths, abnormal file I/O to MBR/boot sectors, or loading of third-party drivers (e.g., RawDisk) that enable disk overwrite. Correlate process creation, privilege usage, and disk modification events within a short time window.

AN0883 Analytic 0883

Execution of destructive utilities (dd, shred, wipe) targeting block devices, or processes invoking syscalls to directly overwrite /dev/sd* or /dev/nvme* partitions. Correlate abnormal file write attempts with shell process execution and block device access.

AN0884 Analytic 0884

Abnormal invocation of diskutil or asr with destructive flags (eraseDisk, zeroDisk), or low-level IOKit calls that overwrite raw disk content. Detect correlation between elevated process execution and disk erase operations.

AN0885 Analytic 0885

Execution of CLI commands erasing file systems or storage (erase flash:, format disk, erase nvram:). Detect authentication events followed by destructive commands within the same privileged session.

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.
