Description

Analyzing network traffic and compares it to known signatures

Mapped SPARTA techniques

  • EXF-0007Compromised Ground SystemST0008
    addresses
    moderate

    Derived by composition, not from a source that names this pair. D3FEND publishes that Network Traffic Signature Analysis counters T1041 Exfiltration Over C2 Channel; SafeMode's curated mapping records EXF-0007 as addressing that same adversary behaviour in the space domain. The control assumes an enterprise host or network -- interactive user accounts, IP session structure, or an organisational perimeter -- so it reaches the mission ground segment and not the spacecraft. Recorded at moderate confidence because the supporting chain is two documented edges rather than one source attesting the pair directly.

  • EXF-0008Compromised Developer SiteST0008
    addresses
    moderate

    Derived by composition, not from a source that names this pair. D3FEND publishes that Network Traffic Signature Analysis counters T1567 Exfiltration Over Web Service; SafeMode's curated mapping records EXF-0008 as addressing that same adversary behaviour in the space domain. The control assumes an enterprise host or network -- interactive user accounts, IP session structure, or an organisational perimeter -- so it reaches the mission ground segment and not the spacecraft. Recorded at moderate confidence because the supporting chain is two documented edges rather than one source attesting the pair directly.

  • EXF-0009Compromised Partner SiteST0008
    addresses
    moderate

    Derived by composition, not from a source that names this pair. D3FEND publishes that Network Traffic Signature Analysis counters T1048 Exfiltration Over Alternative Protocol; SafeMode's curated mapping records EXF-0009 as addressing that same adversary behaviour in the space domain. The control assumes an enterprise host or network -- interactive user accounts, IP session structure, or an organisational perimeter -- so it reaches the mission ground segment and not the spacecraft. Recorded at moderate confidence because the supporting chain is two documented edges rather than one source attesting the pair directly.

  • IA-0007Compromise Ground SystemST0003
    addresses
    moderate

    Derived by composition, not from a source that names this pair. D3FEND publishes that Network Traffic Signature Analysis counters T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application; SafeMode's curated mapping records IA-0007 as addressing that same adversary behaviour in the space domain. The control assumes an enterprise host or network -- interactive user accounts, IP session structure, or an organisational perimeter -- so it reaches the mission ground segment and not the spacecraft. Recorded at moderate confidence because the supporting chain is two documented edges rather than one source attesting the pair directly.

  • IMP-0006TheftST0009
    addresses
    low

    Derived by composition, not from a source that names this pair. D3FEND publishes that Network Traffic Signature Analysis counters T1041 Exfiltration Over C2 Channel; SafeMode's curated mapping records IMP-0006 as addressing that same adversary behaviour in the space domain. The control assumes an enterprise host or network -- interactive user accounts, IP session structure, or an organisational perimeter -- so it reaches the mission ground segment and not the spacecraft. Recorded at low confidence because the supporting chain is two documented edges rather than one source attesting the pair directly, and because IMP-0006 spans both a ground and a space face while the control reaches only one of them.

  • Derived by composition, not from a source that names this pair. D3FEND publishes that Network Traffic Signature Analysis counters T1021 Remote Services; SafeMode's curated mapping records LM-0006 as addressing that same adversary behaviour in the space domain. The control assumes an enterprise host or network -- interactive user accounts, IP session structure, or an organisational perimeter -- so it reaches the mission ground segment and not the spacecraft. Recorded at low confidence because the supporting chain is two documented edges rather than one source attesting the pair directly, and because LM-0006 spans both a ground and a space face while the control reaches only one of them.
