MITRE ATT&CK

Techniques & procedures

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

T1090.003Multi-hop ProxyEvidence1

CyberTroopers is an obfuscated Python program, which includes functionality to download lists of free and open proxy and SOCKS services on the internet from free-proxy-list[.]net and proxyscrape[.]com. The collected proxy and SOCKS services are leveraged to spoof and randomise the origin of the attacks and increase the complexity of detection and mitigation for L7 application attacks.

Impact

2 techniques
T1498Network Denial of ServiceEvidence1
TacticImpact

Furthermore, by exploiting the tool's TCP, UDP and HTTP flooding capabilities, the group will aim to disrupt and temporarily disable online services and websites to draw attention to their political statement.

T1499Endpoint Denial of ServiceEvidence1
TacticImpact

Attacks will likely range from scanning and exploiting to data dumps, denial-of-service attacks, and website defacements.
