Technique ID: T1212
Name: Exploitation for Credential Access
Description: Adversaries may exploit software vulnerabilities in an attempt to collect credentials. Exploitation of a software vulnerability occurs when an adversary takes advantage of a programming error in a program, service, or within the operating system software or kernel itself to execute adversary-controlled cod...
Tactics: Credential Access
Platforms Affected: Azure AD, Linux, Windows, macOS
Detection Strategies: Detecting software exploitation may be difficult depending on the tools available. Software exploits may not always succeed or may cause the exploited process to become unstable or crash. Also look for behavior on the system that might indicate successful compromise, such as abnormal behavior of p...

Technique ID: T1606
Name: Forge Web Credentials
Description: Adversaries may forge credential materials that can be used to gain access to web applications or Internet services. Web applications and services (hosted in cloud SaaS environments or on-premise servers) often use session cookies, tokens, or other materials to authenticate and authorize user access. Adver...
Tactics: Credential Access
Platforms Affected: Azure AD, Google Workspace, IaaS, Linux, Office 365, SaaS, Windows, macOS
Detection Strategies: Monitor for anomalous authentication activity, such as logons or other user session activity associated with unknown accounts. Monitor for unexpected and abnormal access to resources, including access of websites and cloud-based applications by the same user in different locations or by different ...

Technique ID: T1606.002
Name: Forge Web Credentials: SAML Tokens
Description: An adversary may forge SAML tokens with any permissions claims and lifetimes if they possess a valid SAML token-signing certificate. The default lifetime of a SAML token is one hour, but the validity period can be specified in the NotOnOrAfter value of the conditions ... element in a token. This value can ...
Tactics: Credential Access
Platforms Affected: Azure AD, Google Workspace, IaaS, Office 365, SaaS, Windows
Detection Strategies: This technique may be difficult to detect as SAML tokens are signed by a trusted certificate. The forging process may not be detectable since it is likely to happen outside of a defender's visibility, but subsequent usage of the forged token may be seen. Monitor for anomalous logins using SAML tok...

Name: Forge Web Credentials: Web Cookies
Description: Adversaries may forge web cookies that can be used to gain access to web applications or Internet services. Web applications and services (hosted in cloud SaaS environments or on-premise servers) often use session cookies to authenticate and authorize user access. Adversaries may generate these cookies in ...

Technique ID: T1621
Name: Multi-Factor Authentication Request Generation
Description: Adversaries may attempt to bypass multi-factor authentication (MFA) mechanisms and gain access to accounts by generating MFA requests sent to users. Adversaries in possession of credentials to Valid Accounts may be unable to complete the login process if they lack access to the 2FA or MFA mechanisms requir...
Tactics: Credential Access
Platforms Affected: Azure AD, Google Workspace, IaaS, Linux, Office 365, SaaS, Windows, macOS
Detection Strategies: Monitor user account logs as well as 2FA/MFA application logs for suspicious events: unusual login attempt source location, mismatch in location of login attempt and smart device receiving 2FA/MFA request prompts, and high volume of repeated login attempts, all of which may indicate user's primary...

Technique ID: T1040
Name: Network Sniffing
Description: Adversaries may sniff network traffic to capture information about an environment, including authentication material passed over the network. Network sniffing refers to using the network interface on a system to monitor or capture information sent over a wired or wireless connection. An adversary may place...
Tactics: Credential Access, Discovery
Platforms Affected: IaaS, Linux, Network, Windows, macOS
Detection Strategies: Detecting the events leading up to sniffing network traffic may be the best method of detection. From the host level, an adversary would likely need to perform a Adversary-in-the-Middle attack against other devices on a wired network in order to capture traffic that was not to or from the current ...

Technique ID: T1539
Name: Steal Web Session Cookie
Description: An adversary may steal web application or service session cookies and use them to gain access to web applications or Internet services as an authenticated user without needing credentials. Web applications and services often use session cookies as an authentication token after a user has authenticated to a...
Tactics: Credential Access
Platforms Affected: Google Workspace, Linux, Office 365, SaaS, Windows, macOS
Detection Strategies: Monitor for attempts to access files and repositories on a local system that are used to store browser session cookies. Monitor for attempts by programs to inject into or dump browser process memory.

Technique ID: T1649
Name: Steal or Forge Authentication Certificates
Description: Adversaries may steal or forge certificates used for authentication to access remote systems or resources. Digital certificates are often used to sign and encrypt messages and/or files. Certificates are also used as authentication material. For example, Azure AD device certificates and Active Directory Cer...

Technique ID: T1552
Name: Unsecured Credentials
Description: Adversaries may search compromised systems to find and obtain insecurely stored credentials. These credentials can be stored and/or misplaced in many locations on a system, including plaintext files (e.g. Bash History), operating system or application-specific repositories (e.g. Credentials in Registry), o...
Tactics: Credential Access
Platforms Affected: Azure AD, Containers, Google Workspace, IaaS, Linux, Network, Office 365, SaaS, Windows, macOS
Detection Strategies: While detecting adversaries accessing credentials may be difficult without knowing they exist in the environment, it may be possible to detect adversary use of credentials they have obtained. Monitor the command-line arguments of executing processes for suspicious words or regular expressions that...
