In collaboration with MITRE, the article explores how adversaries use persistence techniques, such as COM Object Hijacking, to maintain access to compromised systems and evade detection. The MITRE ATT&CK framework categorizes these techniques, aiding defenders in identifying and mitigating threats. COM Hijacking, a method where adversaries manipulate software components to execute malicious code, has been a long-standing tactic but remains effective due to its complexity and potential for false positives. The article emphasizes the importance of a proactive hunting mindset and using frameworks like ATT&CK to systematically detect anomalies beyond traditional indicators of compromise. Automated tools, such as those developed by Endgame, can efficiently scan for these techniques, allowing defenders to focus on identifying sophisticated threats in a structured and timely manner.
