ngrok — Attack Tool
ngrok is a legitimate reverse proxy tool that can create a secure tunnel to servers located behind firewalls or on local machines that do not have a public IP. ngrok has been leveraged by threat actors in several campaigns including use for lateral movement and data exfiltration.
Tool identity and evidence
Included because the active pinned ATT&CK object has type tool. This is an upstream classification, not an assurance of benignness or a recommendation to run it.

Technique-specific simulations and detections
Detection links describe the associated behavior, not independently verified tool-specific signatures.
Telemetry context
Derived from the explicitly linked TTPs; not proof of sensor coverage for this tool.
