Note: The attack procedure built in this post will not work for every macOS operating system or in every scenario. There are many factors that can block scripts from running at boot time, and you should always test against your target operating system.

The MITRE ATT&CK framework is a universally accepted knowledge-base of tactics, techniques and procedures designed to organize and display how adversaries attack real-world assets. Blue teams use ATT&CK to better understand the multitude of new (and old) attacks and map those to their internal tools and systems. Red teams can use ATT&CK as a sort of playbook, using specific 'plays' (combinations of TTPs) to try and test their systems, which can be easily communicated to the rest of the security team.

Digging into some terminology:

• A tactic is what an attacker hopes to achieve.
• A technique is how an attacker plans to achieve or execute the tactic.
• A procedure is a specific implementation of the technique.

Sound confusing? Let's walk through an example:

An attacker may execute a Collection tactic to steal data from a computer, picking the Clipboard Data (T1115) technique and executing the Get-Clipboard PowerShell cmdlet as the procedure to complete the action.

ATT&CK helps defenders in a variety of ways:

• It offers a common language to discuss tactics, techniques and procedures.
• It provides a dynamic kill-chain for blue team members to detect and respond.
• It supplies resources related to threat groups and the behaviors they use in the wild.

For those on the offensive side, the ATT&CK matrix offers another quite remarkable benefit: it acts a classification system to design your attacks into distinct kill-chains.

Offensive operators, including those in cyber operations and red teams alike, spend their time crafting exploits, coding implants and researching ways to conduct post-compromise activities without getting caught. In a constant game of cat-and-mouse, an offensive operator needs to remain one step ahead at all times and, therefore, must build (and rebuild) procedures constantly.

In this post, we'll walk through how an offensive operator uses ATT&CK. We will start with a goal, something to accomplish, and then set out to define it as a tactic, select the best-fitting technique and finally pivot into building a single procedure to use in a live attack.

Step 0: The ATTACK Scenario

I am an offensive operator. Previously, I wrote an excellent Python-based implant that easily drops onto target systems and allows me Remote Code Execution (RCE). When my agent, let's call it 'Boomer,' is installed, it beacons back to my command-and-control (C2) server where I can send it instructions. I now need to devise a new instruction (procedure) to ensure Boomer stays on the infected computer – specifically when the computer reboots.

When a computer reboots, any non-system services and processes will shut down and not reopen when the computer starts back up. This will stop implants like Boomer in their tracks – unless action is taken to ensure they reboot when the computer does.

As a Python agent, I've coded Boomer to execute Python code as attacks using the Python 3 interpreter installed by default on my target operating system, macOS.

Some attackers will send instructions directly to the shell interpreter through utilities such as Bash or ZSH, but defenders have improved their detection's for these over the years. So I'll need to write my procedure in the Python programming language so it can execute through the interpreter on the infected machine.

Boomer accepts a Python expression – even a large one – and pipes it through the built-in exec() function, which interprets and executes dynamic Python code.

It looks like this:

Step 1: Selecting the tactic

With Boomer deployed remotely and waiting for an instruction, I first have to select my tactic.

With my goal in hand – which is to maintain my foothold on the infected computer – I head to attack.mitre.org to see if any tactics align.

Looking at the Enterprise tactics, I see Reconnaissance, Resource Development, Initial Access, Execution, Persistence…there it is. Persistence sounds exactly like what I'm trying to do!

Clicking into the tactic, I verify my hunch by reading MITRE's description:

The adversary is trying to maintain their foothold. Persistence consists of techniques that adversaries use to keep access to systems across restarts, changed credentials, and other interruptions that could cut off their access. Techniques used for persistence include any access, action, or configuration changes that let them maintain their foothold on systems, such as replacing or hijacking legitimate code or adding startup code.

Perfect. This is the one. Time to pick a technique.

Step 2: Selecting the technique

Scrolling down the page on the Persistence tactic (https://attack.mitre.org/tactics/TA0003/), I see a variety of rows with a T Asteroids (sandwichcafe) mac os. * prefix. These are the technique identifiers underneath the tactic.

Two in particular catch my eye: T1547 (Boot or Logon Autostart Execution) and T1037 (Boot or Logon Initialization Scripts).

T1547 is described as:

Adversaries may configure system settings to automatically execute a program during system boot or logon to maintain persistence or gain higher-level privileges on compromised systems. Operating systems may have mechanisms for automatically running a program on system boot or account logon. These mechanisms may include automatically executing programs that are placed in specially designated directories or are referenced by repositories that store configuration information, such as the Windows Registry. An adversary may achieve the same goal by modifying or extending features of the kernel.

And T1037 is:

Adversaries may use scripts automatically executed at boot or logon initialization to establish persistence. Initialization scripts can be used to perform administrative functions, which may often execute other programs or send information to an internal logging server. These scripts can vary based on the operating system and whether applied locally or remotely.

Hm. Either could work for me, as they are both designed to relaunch an arbitrary program (like Boomer) after a computer boots up. Because Boomer is a Python script, I figure I can probably hook into the script technique a little easier, so I decide on T1037.

Under this technique, I see a series of sub-techniques, or categories, as denoted with the .000 syntax. Now, while all of these sub-techniques should be considered, my eye is drawn to .002: Logon Script (Mac) because it specifically mentions the operating system Boomer is currently running on.

Scanning the description of T1037.002, I read:

Adversaries may use macOS logon scripts automatically executed at logon initialization to establish persistence. macOS allows logon scripts (known as login hooks) to be executed whenever a specific user logs into a system. A login hook tells Mac OS X to execute a certain script when a user logs in, but unlike Startup Items, a login hook executes as the elevated root user.

Perfect. This will do just fine.

Step 3: Researching the options

At this point, I've identified the Persistence tactic and technique T1037.002 as my preferred behavior to execute. For any technique, there could be dozens – if not thousands – of variations. This is what makes being a defender so difficult. As the offensive operator, to be successful, I only need to select one variation the defense is blind to, whereas defenders need to catch all of my attacks to beat me.

Picking a variation means hitting the internet for some research.

Let's start on the ATT&CK website itself. Clicking into the technique itself (https://attack.mitre.org/techniques/T1037/002/), I can see the defense is being trained to detect procedures under this technique in this way:

Monitor logon scripts for unusual access by abnormal users or at abnormal times. Look for files added or modified by unusual accounts outside of normal administration duties. Monitor running process for actions that could be indicative of abnormal programs or executables running upon logon.

Ok, good to know.

Fang in tropical valley mac os. Heading to every hacker's best friend, Google, I type the following:

'macos logon script python'

This leads me to a Stackoverflow post (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29338066/run-python-script-at-os-x-startup) recommending I create a PLIST file and place it in one of the following locations:

• /System/Library/LaunchAgents
• /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
• /Users//Library/LaunchAgents

A PLIST file is simply a properties file on macOS computers for specific applications.

This has 12 upvotes and seems to be a well supported answer, so I bookmark the page and move on to the next step: writing the code.

Step 4: Writing the code

Based on my research in the previous step, I need to do two things to build my attack:

• Write a PLIST property file which starts Boomer.
• Place the property file on the correct location on disk.

In my research, it says to put my new PLIST property file in one of three locations on disk. I suppose I can find an example PLIST file there to work off of, so I navigate on my own laptop to those locations and open a few PLIST files.

I find a small example that seems promising: com.jetbrains.toolbox.plist.

Opening this, I see:

It looks like the Label should equal the name of my PLIST file and the Program arguments should be the path to the Python interpreter and script location. I adjust the values to the following, which match my own computer.

Next, I stage the PLIST file on my laptop's /Users/privateducky/Library/LaunchAgents directory in order to test it out.

I ensure the paths defined in the PLIST are correct. Then, instead of infecting my laptop with a Boomer agent, I drop an ad-hoc Python script called boomer.py into my laptop's Downloads directory to test with:

Rebooting my laptop, I run a process check to see if my ad-hoc Boomer process is active:

Success!

Step 5: Launching the attack

Ok Boomer Osu

With a working procedure in hand, I'm ready to send it to my live Boomer agent running on the infected remote computer.

Since I'm planning on using Python's built-in exec() function, I need to ensure my instruction is a valid Python string.

It looks a little messy, but this one-liner should do the trick (assuming the username of the active user is barry and Boomer is located in the Downloads directory of the remote machine):

With the command ready, I send the procedure (instruction) to Boomer and sit back comfortably, knowing every time the infected machine is rebooted, Boomer will kick back on.

In this post, we learned how to take a goal and convert it into an executable procedure classified by MITRE ATT&CK.

From here, we can continue building procedures to construct an end-to-end mission, or we can save our procedure into an indexed database so we can repeat it in the future. In the latter case, there are several popular online repositories built toward standardizing attack procedures in a repeatable way. There is the Atomic Red Team (https://github.com/redcanaryco/atomic-red-team) project as well as the Community repository (https://github.com/preludeorg/community), both of which index procedures in YML format for reuse in future missions.

So, you've decided to download an older version of Mac OS X. There are many reasons that could point you to this radical decision. To begin with, some of your apps may not be working properly (or simply crash) on newer operating systems. Also, you may have noticed your Mac's performance went down right after the last update. Finally, if you want to run a parallel copy of Mac OS X on a virtual machine, you too will need a working installation file of an older Mac OS X. Further down we'll explain where to get one and what problems you may face down the road.

Mac Os Catalina

A list of all Mac OS X versions

We'll be repeatedly referring to these Apple OS versions below, so it's good to know the basic macOS timeline.

STEP 1. Prepare your Mac for installation

Given your Mac isn't new and is filled with data, you will probably need enough free space on your Mac. This includes not just space for the OS itself but also space for other applications and your user data. One more argument is that the free space on your disk translates into virtual memory so your apps have 'fuel' to operate on. The chart below tells you how much free space is needed.

Note, that it is recommended that you install OS on a clean drive. Next, you will need enough disk space available, for example, to create Recovery Partition. Here are some ideas to free up space on your drive:

• Uninstall large unused apps
• Empty Trash Bin and Downloads
• Locate the biggest files on your computer:

Go to Finder > All My Files > Arrange by size
Then you can move your space hoggers onto an external drive or a cloud storage.
If you aren't comfortable with cleaning the Mac manually, there are some nice automatic 'room cleaners'. Our favorite is CleanMyMac as it's most simple to use of all. It deletes system junk, old broken apps, and the rest of hidden junk on your drive.

Download CleanMyMac for OS 10.4 - 10.8 (free version)

Download CleanMyMac for OS 10.9 (free version)

Download CleanMyMac for OS 10.10 - 10.14 (free version)

STEP 2. Get a copy of Mac OS X download

Normally, it is assumed that updating OS is a one-way road. That's why going back to a past Apple OS version is problematic. The main challenge is to download the OS installation file itself, because your Mac may already be running a newer version. If you succeed in downloading the OS installation, your next step is to create a bootable USB or DVD and then reinstall the OS on your computer.

How to download older Mac OS X versions via the App Store

If you once had purchased an old version of Mac OS X from the App Store, open it and go to the Purchased tab. There you'll find all the installers you can download. However, it doesn't always work that way. The purchased section lists only those operating systems that you had downloaded in the past. But here is the path to check it:

1. Click the App Store icon.
2. Click Purchases in the top menu.
3. Scroll down to find the preferred OS X version.
4. Click Download.

This method allows you to download Mavericks and Yosemite by logging with your Apple ID — only if you previously downloaded them from the Mac App Store.

Without App Store: Download Mac OS version as Apple Developer

If you are signed with an Apple Developer account, you can get access to products that are no longer listed on the App Store. If you desperately need a lower OS X version build, consider creating a new Developer account among other options. The membership cost is $99/year and provides a bunch of perks unavailable to ordinary users.

Nevertheless, keep in mind that if you visit developer.apple.com/downloads, you can only find 10.3-10.6 OS X operating systems there. Newer versions are not available because starting Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.7, the App Store has become the only source of updating Apple OS versions.

Purchase an older version of Mac operating system

You can purchase a boxed or email version of past Mac OS X directly from Apple. Both will cost you around $20. For the reason of being rather antiquated, Snow Leopard and earlier Apple versions can only be installed from DVD.

Buy a boxed edition of Snow Leopard 10.6
Get an email copy of Lion 10.7
Get an email copy of Mountain Lion 10.8

The email edition comes with a special download code you can use for the Mac App Store. Note, that to install the Lion or Mountain Lion, your Mac needs to be running Snow Leopard so you can install the newer OS on top of it.

How to get macOS El Capitan download

If you are wondering if you can run El Capitan on an older Mac, rejoice as it's possible too. But before your Mac can run El Capitan it has to be updated to OS X 10.6.8. So, here are main steps you should take:

1. Install Snow Leopard from install DVD.
2. Update to 10.6.8 using Software Update.
3. Download El Capitan here.

'I can't download an old version of Mac OS X'

If you have a newer Mac, there is no physical option to install Mac OS versions older than your current Mac model. For instance, if your MacBook was released in 2014, don't expect it to run any OS released prior of that time, because older Apple OS versions simply do not include hardware drivers for your Mac.

But as it often happens, workarounds are possible. There is still a chance to download the installation file if you have an access to a Mac (or virtual machine) running that operating system. For example, to get an installer for Lion, you may ask a friend who has Lion-operated Mac or, once again, set up a virtual machine running Lion. Then you will need to prepare an external drive to download the installation file using OS X Utilities.

After you've completed the download, the installer should launch automatically, but you can click Cancel and copy the file you need. Below is the detailed instruction how to do it.

STEP 3. Install older OS X onto an external drive

The following method allows you to download Mac OS X Lion, Mountain Lion, and Mavericks.

1. Start your Mac holding down Command + R.
2. Prepare a clean external drive (at least 10 GB of storage).
3. Within OS X Utilities, choose Reinstall OS X.
4. Select external drive as a source.
5. Enter your Apple ID.

Now the OS should start downloading automatically onto the external drive. After the download is complete, your Mac will prompt you to do a restart, but at this point, you should completely shut it down. Now that the installation file is 'captured' onto your external drive, you can reinstall the OS, this time running the file on your Mac.

1. Boot your Mac from your standard drive.
2. Connect the external drive.
3. Go to external drive > OS X Install Data.

Locate InstallESD.dmg disk image file — this is the file you need to reinstall Lion OS X. The same steps are valid for Mountain Lion and Mavericks.

How to downgrade a Mac running later macOS versions

If your Mac runs macOS Sierra 10.12 or macOS High Sierra 10.13, it is possible to revert it to the previous system if you are not satisfied with the experience. You can do it either with Time Machine or by creating a bootable USB or external drive.

Before you do it, the best advice is to back your Mac up so your most important files stay intact. In addition to that, it makes sense to clean up your Mac from old system junk files and application leftovers. The easiest way to do it is to run CleanMyMac X on your machine (download it for free here).

Visit your local Apple Store to download older OS X version

Intern purgatory: limbo mac os. If none of the options to get older OS X worked, pay a visit to nearest local Apple Store. They should have image installations going back to OS Leopard and earlier. You can also ask their assistance to create a bootable USB drive with the installation file. So here you are. We hope this article has helped you to download an old version of Mac OS X. Below are a few more links you may find interesting.
