MITRE ATT&CK

Techniques & procedures

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

Command and Control

1 technique
T1090.003Multi-hop ProxyEvidence1

Attack traffic is sourced from a composite pool drawing on Tor exit nodes, public cloud instances, compromised IoT devices, commercial VPN and proxy services, and directly infected hosts.

Impact

4 techniques
T1498Network Denial of ServiceEvidence1

Keymous+ first appeared publicly in November 2023, with a DDoS claim against Morocco’s national e-Visa portal... Beta Team • Primary operational arm; executes all DDoS campaigns... NETSCOUT ATLAS confirms 249 independently verified DDoS attacks...

T1498.001Direct Network FloodEvidence1

Observed amplification protocols include CLDAP, DNS, NTP, memcached, SNMP, NetBIOS, rpcbind, L2TP, WS-DD, and chargen; direct flood methods span TCP SYN floods, UDP floods, DNS query floods, and Layer-7 HTTP/2 floods.

T1498.002Reflection AmplificationEvidence1

The group employs both reflection/amplification and direct flooding vectors, often in combination. Observed amplification protocols include CLDAP, DNS, NTP, memcached, SNMP, NetBIOS, rpcbind, L2TP, WS-DD, and chargen.

T1499Endpoint Denial of ServiceEvidence1

Observed amplification protocols include CLDAP, DNS, NTP, memcached, SNMP, NetBIOS, rpcbind, L2TP, WS-DD, and chargen; direct flood methods span TCP SYN floods, UDP floods, DNS query floods, and Layer-7 HTTP/2 floods.
