Description
An adversary scans for RPC services listing on a Unix/Linux host.
Where this sits in the chain
A finding maps to a weakness (CWE), a weakness is exploited by an attack pattern (CAPEC), and an attack pattern shows up in ATT&CK as observed adversary behaviour. This page is the middle hop.
Weaknesses exploited: CWE-200
Prerequisites
- RPC scanning requires no special privileges when it is performed via a native system utility.
Consequences
- Confidentiality: Other
- Confidentiality, Access Control, Authorization: Bypass Protection Mechanism, Hide Activities
Mitigations
- Typically, an IDS/IPS system is very effective against this type of attack.
