With the new detection method in analysts’ toolkit, this cryptominer will likely become more detectable across the AV spectrum. But the cryptominer did not go entirely unnoticed. Posted: Novem3:13AM in General Discussion edited January 2014. SentinelOne said that two Chinese security firms spotted and analyzed older versions of the OSAMiner in August and September 2018, respectively. Ive been using Macs for the last 8 years and I have never used one. I feel I might mess up the computer or something. I also feel that while a script may be a good shortcut, many times I can do the same things with. But their reports only scratched the surface of what OSAMiner was capable of, SentinelOne macOS malware researcher Phil Stokes said yesterday.

macOS malware used run-only AppleScripts to avoid detection for five years by TheCyberPost1 in MacOS sakrist 2 points 3 points 4 points 9 months ago (0 children) This is so wrong assumption that Apple is going to remove AppleScript because some people download pirated applications.

The primary reason was that security researchers weren't able to retrieve the malware's entire code at the time, which used nested run-only AppleScript files to retrieve its malicious code across different stages.

As users installed the pirated software, the boobytrapped installers would download and run a run-only AppleScript, which would download and run a second run-only AppleScript, and then another final third run-only AppleScript. An AppleScript feature designed to compress scripts into pre-compiled form has allowed bad actors to evade security researchers for years.Since "run-only" AppleScript come in a compiled state where the source code isn't human-readable, this made analysis harder for security researchers. This cryptominer Trojan spread unchecked for some five years. So-called run-only scripts-what we might today call “bytecode”-are poorly documented and difficult to analyze. So it’s hard to extract indicators of compromise out of malware obfuscated by them. What can DevOps learn from this? In this week’s Security Blogwatch, we learn lessons (not “learnings”). Your humble blogwatcher curated these bloggy bits for your entertainment. Not to mention: What everyone really wants.

What’s the craic? Ionut Ilascu reports- Mac malware uses 'run-only' AppleScripts to evade analysis: A cryptocurrency mining campaign … is using malware that has evolved into a complex variant giving researchers a lot of trouble analyzing it. Has been in the wild since at least 2015. Yet analyzing it is difficult because … it embeds a run-only AppleScript into another script and uses URLs in public web pages to download the actual … payloads. Run-only AppleScript … makes decompiling them into source code a tall order.

MACOS MALWARE YEARS USED RUNONLY DETECTION CODE … Security researchers at SentinelOne … were able to reverse engineer some samples they collected by using a lesser-known AppleScript disassembler (Jinmo’s applescript-disassembler) and a decompiler tool developed internally.Īnd Catalin Cimpanu adds- macOS malware used run-only AppleScripts to avoid detection for five years: A sneaky malware operation … used a clever trick to avoid detection and hijacked the hardware resources of infected users to mine cryptocurrency behind their backs. Named OSAMiner, the malware has been distributed in the wild since at least 2015. "OSAMiner has been active for a long time and has evolved in recent months," a SentinelOne spokesperson.
