MITRE ATT&CK

Techniques & procedures

2 distinct techniques documented for this family, organized by ATT&CK tactic.

Persistence

1 technique

T1547.006Kernel Modules and ExtensionsEvidence1

Reptile’s loader directly invokes the init_module syscall with an in-memory decrypted kernel blob... Effective detection should therefore focus on tracing these syscalls directly.

Privilege Escalation

1 technique

Stealth

1 technique

T1014RootkitEvidence1

“By overwriting a pointer in this table, an attacker can redirect a legitimate syscall, such as getdents64, kill, or read, to a malicious handler.”

What this page doesn’t show

The version that knows your environment.

This page is what’s public. Mallory adds the parts that aren’t: which of your assets match these IOCs, which detections are missing, which campaigns to expect next, and what to do in the next 30 minutes.

IOC matching

Match every observed IP, domain, and hash against your live telemetry.

Threat actor attribution

Named campaigns wielding this family, with evidence pinned to each claim.

Exploited vulnerabilities

CVEs this family uses for access and lateral movement.

Detection signatures

YARA, Sigma, Snort, and vendor rules, auto-deployed to your SIEM.

MITRE ATT&CK mapping2

Every documented technique, ranked by evidence weight.
