[QUOTE="Parsh, post: 860463, member: 58090"] I just found this Heimdal blog after referring to the giveaway. Many users may be just learning about the existence of multi-process malware (MPM). Yet it is an acknowledged attack architecture and must have been researched upon since a couple of years already. I found a [URL='https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/sec.705']relevant paper[/URL] dating 2013 and having older references. Folks at Heimdal have mentioned about their method of behavioral analysis - what they like to call the '[I]Threat-to-Process Correlation (TTPC)[/I]'. They state in the interesting use cases in that blog - that their method was more effective than regular behavioral analysis, in identifying the malicious activities of adversaries (MPM) hidden in an innocent horse. That's obviously a form of them marketing their stuff... nothing wrong. However as you would guess, this doesn't mean that major security players around the world haven't worked upon measures to detect such potential attacks. We have some good behavior blockers/HIPS and solutions with strongly inter-connected modules for quite some time now. Couldn't find any articles or marketing from popular antiviruses on the same though. It would be good to hear from a professional in the industry. I wonder how - reactive enterprise emergency response solutions and monitoring tools might serve as a different (perhaps more effective) weapon to identify (pre/post) and possibly remediate them.
