Signatures

Antivirus / Scanner detection for submitted sample
Multi AV Scanner detection for submitted file
Connects to many ports of the same IP (likely port scanning)
Sample deletes itself
Sample is packed with UPX
Detected TCP or UDP traffic on non-standard ports
ELF contains segments with high entropy indicating compressed/encrypted content
Sample contains only a LOAD segment without any section mappings
Sample listens on a socket
Uses the "uname" system call to query kernel version information (possible evasion)
