PyXie - Cyber Threat Intelligence

These indicators were reported, collected, and generated during the VulDB CTI analysis of the actor known as PyXie. The activity monitoring correlates data from social media, forums, chat rooms, and darknet markets. It helps to determine associated actors, specific activities, expected intentions, emerging research, and ongoing attacks. Our unique predictive model uses big data to forecast activities and their characteristics.

Live data and more analysis capabilities are available at https://vuldb.com/?actor.pyxie

Countries

These countries are directly (e.g. origin of attacks) or indirectly (e.g. access by proxy) associated with PyXie:

• US
• CN

IOC - Indicator of Compromise

These indicators of compromise (IOC) indicate associated network resources which are known to be part of research and attack activities of PyXie.

ID	IP address	Hostname	Campaign	Confidence
1	104.200.67.173	-	-	High
2	192.52.167.241	nordns.crowncloud.net	-	High

TTP - Tactics, Techniques, Procedures

Tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) summarize the suspected MITRE ATT&CK techniques used by PyXie. This data is unique as it uses our predictive model for actor profiling.

ID	Technique	Weakness	Description	Confidence
1	T1068	CWE-250, CWE-264	Execution with Unnecessary Privileges	High
2	T1110.001	CWE-798	Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts	High
3	T1211	CWE-358	7PK Security Features	High

IOA - Indicator of Attack

These indicators of attack (IOA) list the potential fragments used for technical activities like reconnaissance, exploitation, privilege escalation, and exfiltration by PyXie. This data is unique as it uses our predictive model for actor profiling.

ID	Type	Indicator	Confidence
1	File	/wp-content/plugins/updraftplus/admin.php	High
2	File	fm_backups	Medium
3	File	Forms/tools_admin_1	High
4	...	...	...

There are 8 more IOA items available (file, library, argument, input value, pattern, network port). Please use our online service to access the data.
