S1200: StealBit describes [StealBit](https://attack.mitre.org/software/S1200) is a data exfiltration tool that is developed and maintained by the operators of the the LockBit Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) and offered to affiliates to exfiltrate data from compromised systems for double extortion purposes.(Citation: Cybereason StealBit Exfiltration Tool)(Citation: FBI Lockbit 2.0 FEB 2022)

Executive priority

S1200: StealBit is an official MITRE ATT&CK software. Glexia treats it as defensive behavior context for prioritizing monitoring, control validation, and response planning without using the object by itself as an attribution claim.

Technical view

Security teams should validate S1200: StealBit by reviewing the official ATT&CK relationships, mapped tactics (the mapped ATT&CK tactic context), supported platforms (Windows), and available local telemetry before making detection or mitigation decisions.

Likely telemetry

  • Official ATT&CK relationships and object metadata
  • Network, endpoint, and security-tool telemetry

Detection direction

  • Validate whether S1200: StealBit appears in your detection coverage and tabletop scenarios.
  • Use the object to align executive risk language with SOC, incident response, and detection engineering work.
  • Do not treat ATT&CK relationship context as attribution without corroborating evidence.

Mitigation priorities

  • Map the object to existing controls and identify missing telemetry or response ownership.
  • Prioritize mitigations that reduce exposure on the listed platforms and tactics.
  • Review adjacent ATT&CK relationships before changing policy, detections, or reporting language.
Additional notes and limits

Baseline Glexia take generated from the official MITRE ATT&CK STIX object, source hash, tactics, platforms, and detection fields. It is safe to replace with a richer model-generated take for the same source hash later.

This baseline take is source-grounded and schema-validated, but it does not include environment-specific telemetry, incident evidence, or threat-intelligence corroboration.

Generated from the cited source records. This long-tail analysis has not been individually reviewed by a named human.

Treat this object as behavior context, not an attribution claim. Validate the related groups, software, data sources, and mitigations against official ATT&CK relationships and your own telemetry before making control-coverage decisions.

ATT&CK relationship table

Techniques used

This mirrors the MITRE pattern of making group, software, campaign, and technique relationships scannable. Relationship notes come from mirrored ATT&CK relationship text when available.

15 rows
DomainIDNameRelationship / procedure
EnterpriseT1622Debugger Evasion

StealBit can detect it is being run in the context of a debugger.[1]

EnterpriseT1559Inter-Process Communication

StealBit can use interprocess communication (IPC) to enable the designation of multiple files for exfiltration in a scalable manner.[1]

EnterpriseT1070.004File DeletionSub-technique

StealBit can self-delete its executable file from the compromised system.[1][2]

EnterpriseT1030Data Transfer Size Limits

StealBit can be configured to exfiltrate files at a specified rate to evade network detection mechanisms.[1]

EnterpriseT1027.013Encrypted/Encoded FileSub-technique

StealBit stores obfuscated DLL file names in its executable.[1]

EnterpriseT1106Native API

StealBit can use native APIs including `LoadLibraryExA` for execution and `NtSetInformationProcess` for defense evasion purposes.[1]

EnterpriseT1082System Information Discovery

StealBit can enumerate the computer name and domain membership of the compromised system.[1]

EnterpriseT1480Execution Guardrails

StealBit will execute an empty infinite loop if it detects it is being run in the context of a debugger.[1]

EnterpriseT1005Data from Local System

StealBit can upload data and files to the LockBit victim-shaming site.[2][1]

EnterpriseT1614.001System Language DiscoverySub-technique

StealBit can determine system location based on the default language setting and will not execute on systems located in former Soviet countries.[1]

EnterpriseT1095Non-Application Layer Protocol

StealBit can use the Windows Socket networking library to communicate with attacker-controlled endpoints.[1]

EnterpriseT1685Disable or Modify Tools

StealBit can configure processes to not display certain Windows error messages by through use of the `NtSetInformationProcess`.[1]

EnterpriseT1071.001Web ProtocolsSub-technique

StealBit can use HTTP to exfiltrate files to actor-controlled infrastructure.[2][1]

EnterpriseT1140Deobfuscate/Decode Files or Information

StealBit can deobfuscate loaded modules prior to execution.[2][1]

EnterpriseT1083File and Directory Discovery

StealBit can be configured to exfiltrate specific file types.[2][1]
