T1056 Input Capture

Adversaries may use methods of capturing user input to obtain credentials or collect information. During normal system usage, users often provide credentials to various different locations, such as login pages/portals or system dialog boxes. Input capture mechanisms may be transparent to the user (e.g. Credential API Hooking) or rely on deceiving the user into providing input into what they believe to be a genuine service (e.g. Web Portal Capture).

    google_secops Google Security Operations technique_scores T1056 Input Capture
    Comments
    Google Security Ops is able to trigger an alert based on adversary methods of obtaining credentials or collecting information (e.g., web skimming attacks). This technique was scored as minimal based on low or uncertain detection coverage factor. https://github.com/chronicle/detection-rules/blob/783e0e5947774785db1c55041b70176deeca6f46/soc_prime_rules/cloud_security/proxy/the_gocgle_malicious_campaign.yaral
