new linux malware



Today, we received a notification about a new Linux malware ItW (In the Wild).

Chas Tomlin (http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~cet/) provided Shadowserver (http://www.shadowserver.org/) and Nicholas Alright who notified the relevant operational communities, with the information on the binaries. He captured them with squil (http://sguil.sourceforge.net/).

Chas is working with Shadowserver to identify better ways to trackdown/takedown botnets.

*The credit should go to him and Shadowserver*.

Shadowserver has been a responsible and essential part of recent Internet security activities.

As anti virus vendors have been notified will soon do a write-up on it, I see no reason not to publicize it here.

MD5:
c2576aeff0fd9267b6cc3a7e1089e05d ~/samples/derfiq
e9a2b13fe02d013cc5e11ee586d11c38 ~/samples/session

We are not quite sure as of yet exactly what this does, it can be a Linux virus, a Linux Trojan horse, a Linux worm... we are not even sure if the checksums above are useful at all. We hope to know more soon and we will update as we do.

There are some interesting strings to be noted:
