  "bluf": "MITRE ATT&CK T1563.001 (SSH Hijacking) is an Enterprise Lateral Movement sub-technique of T1563 (Remote Service Session Hijacking). Adversaries may hijack a legitimate user's SSH session to move laterally within an environment. Secure Shell (SSH) is a standard means of remote access on Linux and macOS systems. It allows a user to connect to another system via an encrypted tunnel, commonly authenticating through a password, certificate or the use of an asymmetric encryption key pair. Affected platforms: Linux, macOS. MITRE-documented mitigations include M1022 Restrict File and Directory Permissions, M1042 Disable or Remove Feature or Program, M1027 Password Policies, M1026 Privileged Account Management. The Center for Threat-Informed Defense maps this technique to NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls AC-02, AC-03, AC-04, AC-05, AC-06, AC-12, AC-17, CA-07.",
