These are the Linux variations that we support. If your system is not on the list, try installing from source. Although ImageMagick runs fine on a single core computer, it automagically runs in parallel on multi-core systems reducing run times considerably.
Congratulations, you have a working ImageMagick distribution under Linux or Linux and you are ready to use ImageMagick to convert, compose, or edit your images or perhaps you'll want to use one of the Application Program Interfaces for C, C++, Perl, and others.
The brew command downloads and installs ImageMagick with many of its delegate libraries (e.g. JPEG, PNG, Freetype, etc). Homebrew no longer allows configurable builds; if you need different compile options (e.g. librsvg support), you can download the ImageMagick Mac OS X distribution we provide:

The amount of memory can be an important factor, especially if you intend to work on large images. A minimum of 512 MB of RAM is recommended, but the more RAM the better. Although ImageMagick runs well on a single core computer, it automagically runs in parallel on multi-core systems reducing run times considerably.
The Windows version of ImageMagick is self-installing. Simply click on the appropriate version below and it will launch itself and ask you a few installation questions. Versions with Q8 in the name are 8 bits-per-pixel component (e.g. 8-bit red, 8-bit green, etc.), whereas, Q16 in the filename are 16 bits-per-pixel component. A Q16 version permits you to read or write 16-bit images without losing precision but requires twice as much resources as the Q8 version. Versions with dll in the filename include ImageMagick libraries as dynamic link libraries. Unless you have a Windows 32-bit OS, we recommend this version of ImageMagick for 64-bit Windows:

Microsoft introduced the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) with Windows XP to simplify and coordinate downloading and uploading large files. Applications and system components, most notably Windows Update, use BITS to deliver operating system and application updates so they can be downloaded with minimal user disruption.
Applications interact with the Background Intelligent Transfer Service by creating jobs with one or more files to download or upload. The BITS service runs in a service host process and can schedule transfers to occur at any time. Job, file, and state information is stored in a local database.
As is the case with many technologies, BITS can be used both by legitimate applications and by attackers. When malicious applications create BITS jobs, files are downloaded or uploaded in the context of the service host process. This can be useful for evading firewalls that may block malicious or unknown processes, and it helps to obscure which application requested the transfer. BITS transfers can also be scheduled allowing them to occur at specific times without relying on long-running processes or the task scheduler.
BITS transfers are asynchronous, which can result in situations where the application that created a job may not be running when the requested transfers complete. To address this scenario BITS jobs can be created with a user-specified notification command, which will be executed after the job completes or in case of errors. The notification commands associated with BITS jobs can specify any executable or command to run. Attackers have utilized this feature as a method for maintaining persistence of malicious applications.
Since the command data for BITS jobs is stored to a database rather than traditional registry locations, it can be overlooked by tools that attempt to identify persistence executables and commands or by forensic investigators.
BITS jobs can be created using API function calls or via the bitsadmin command line tool. See Figure 1 and Figure 2 for an example of how a BITS job can be used to download a file and trigger execution.
Through our investigations, Mandiant consultants identified evidence of attackers leveraging BITS across multiple campaigns. In order to search for evidence of attacker use of BITS, we needed to understand the underlying infrastructure used by BITS and create a tool that could collect relevant information.
We created BitsParser, which parses BITS databases and returns information about jobs executed on endpoint systems. The tool can be run internally by Mandiant consultants via our endpoint agent allowing BITS data to be acquired from many hosts across an enterprise. BitsParser has been successfully used in many investigations to uncover attacker downloads, uploads, and persistence.
In order to process the custom database format, BitsParser utilizes the open source ANSSI-FR library. The library allows parsing of both active and deleted entries from BITS database files, and it can fully extract relevant information from job and file records.
The Background Intelligent Transfer Service has largely remained unchanged since its introduction. However, Windows 10 introduced significant changes to the service, including an all new database format. On Windows 10 the QMGR database is stored using the Extensible Storage Engine (ESE) format. ESE databases have been used in many other Microsoft products including Exchange, Active Directory, and Internet Explorer.
Windows 10 stores the QMGR database in a single file called qmgr.db. Separate transaction log files are maintained in the same directory. The most recent transaction log is stored to a file called edb.log, and three older transaction logs with numerical suffixes are typically present.
In order to support investigations on Windows 10 systems, we updated the BitsParser tool to support the new QMGR database format. To accomplish this, we needed a Python-based ESE database parser. Research led us to libesedb, which is a full ESE database implementation written in C with a Python wrapper. With no other Python options available, we initially used libesedb in BitsParser to parse the Windows 10 QMGR database. However, we sought a solution that did not rely on native executables and would be more compact for improved efficiency in large scale deployments.
The only pure Python ESE database implementation we identified was part of the Impacket network toolset. Although the source code could perform basic database enumeration, it lacked key features, including the ability to process long values. Since the QMGR database includes entries large enough to require long values, modification of the Impacket implementation was required. We adapted the Impacket ESE database parsing code to make it more robust and support all features necessary for parsing QMGR databases. The full Python solution allows database parsing in a much smaller package without the risks and limitations of native code.
The Windows 10 QMGR database contains two tables: Jobs and Files. Both tables have two columns: Id and Blob. The Id contains a GUID to identify the entry, and the Blob contains binary data which defines the job or file. Fortunately, the job and file structures are largely unchanged from the previous database format.
The database is processed by enumerating entries in the Jobs table, parsing each job data, finding correlated files, and parsing the corresponding records in the Files table. This allows the BitsParser to combine related information and output jobs with their associated files including relevant metadata.
Active jobs have entries in the Jobs and Files tables. Records are deleted upon job completion or cancellation. As with other filesystem and data formats, deleted entries are not immediately overwritten and can often be recovered for some time after deletion.
Historic records can also be found in transaction log files. Although we do not parse the transaction log structures, the same algorithm can be used to find job and file records within the logs by searching for appropriate GUIDs. While the same records may be present in multiple files, duplicates can be suppressed to prevent output of redundant information.
At the time of writing we are not aware of any open source tools available to parse BITS databases and extract data useful for incident response and forensic investigations. To help address this and foster further research, FireEye has decided to release a standalone version of BitsParser. This command line utility can process all versions of BITS databases and perform carving to recover deleted job and file information.
Note that on Windows 10 the QMGR database files are opened without sharing by the BITS service thus preventing other programs from directly opening them. When BitsParser is deployed via the FireEye endpoint agent it can directly parse the local filesystem and raw read files in circumstances where they cannot be directly read. The standalone BitsParser does not have this ability. The BITS service should be stopped prior to running BitsParser or third-party tools for copying locked files may be utilized.
In 2020 Mandiant responded to many incidents involving Ryuk ransomware operators leveraging custom backdoors and loaders to actively target hospitals and other medical support centers (see our blog post Unhappy Hour Special: KEGTAP and SINGLEMALT With a Ransomware Chaser). Through numerous engagements Mandiant was able to profile the attacker's Tools Techniques and Procedures (TTPs) and identify unique aspects of the various backdoors and loaders that were leveraged prior to encryption. In one such engagement, Mandiant consultants had mapped the vast majority of the attack timeline from initial exploitation to the encryption of corporate resources and an extortion demand. Log analysis and telemetry provided by the customer's on-premises endpoint detection solution led to the identification of a KEGTAP backdoor on an end-user workstation. Mandiant was able to identify the specific email and lure used by the ransomware operators including the download and execution of the file mail.exe, which launched KEGTAP. However, none of the persistence mechanisms that Mandiant observed in other engagements were present on this endpoint.
