A newly identified Linux botnet is exploiting years-old security vulnerabilities to compromise routers, firewalls, IP cameras and other internet-facing systems, transforming them into a distributed infrastructure for cyberattacks, credential theft and covert traffic relaying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The malware, named Evooo1Bot<\/strong>, is based partly on the leaked source code of the notorious Mirai botnet. However, researchers say the operators have expanded the familiar Mirai formula into a much broader remote-access platform with encrypted command-and-control communications, persistent access, an interactive shell, file-transfer functions, an SSH brute-force scanner and a SOCKS5 proxy service.<\/p>\n\n\n(2) Linux Botnet Turns Devices Including Routers Into Persistent Attacker Infrastructure | LinkedIn<\/a>: Linux Botnet Turns Devices Including Routers Into Persistent Attacker Infrastructure<\/span><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A newly identified Linux botnet is exploiting years-old security vulnerabilities to compromise routers, firewalls, IP cameras and other internet-facing systems, transforming them into a distributed infrastructure for cyberattacks, credential theft and covert traffic relaying.
