Decoy User Credential

Where It Sits in the Scheme

2 ASOM-Fed techniques reach this countermeasure, across 1 form of maneuver.

This is the direction the forward mapping cannot answer. A reader who works in D3FEND arrives holding D3-DUC and needs to know where it is employed in a scheme of maneuver — not which of MITRE's tactics it belongs to, which they already know.

Reached By

  • M5.03 Decoy CredentialsM5 Ambush · T1 Identity

    Seed credential stores, memory and configuration with credentials that are valid-looking and monitored but powerless.

  • M5.07 Identity-Plane DeceptionM5 Ambush · T1 Identity

    Plant privileged-looking accounts and group memberships that no legitimate process ever touches.

Forms That Arrive Here

A countermeasure reached from more than one form is employed more than one way. D3FEND has no notion of a form, so this join exists only here.

What This Does Not Claim

That a technique reaches a D3FEND countermeasure says the two describe the same defensive act. It does not say the countermeasure is deployed, configured, or working — that is an assessment finding about your estate, not a property of the framework.

MITRE's own entry for this technique is at d3fend.mitre.org, and it is the authority on what the countermeasure is. This page is the authority only on where it sits in ASOM-Fed.
