Mapping with ATT&CK

In the following exercise, we are going to use a paper that was presented at Virus Bulletin 2018: Inside Formbook Infostealer by the malware researcher Gabriela Nicolao: https://www.virusbulletin.com/uploads/pdf/magazine/2018/VB2018-Nicolao.pdf.

Formbook is an infostealer that has been around since at least 2016 and has been advertised in hacking forums by the user ng-Coder.
