Signatures

Multi AV Scanner detection for submitted file
Yara detected Chaos
Drops files in suspicious directories
Sample tries to set files in /etc globally writable
Uses known network protocols on non-standard ports
Writes identical ELF files to multiple locations
Creates hidden files and/or directories
Creates hidden files without content (potentially used as a mutex)
Detected TCP or UDP traffic on non-standard ports
Enumerates processes within the "proc" file system
Executes commands using a shell command-line interpreter
Executes the "kill" or "pkill" command typically used to terminate processes
Executes the "sleep" command used to delay execution and potentially evade sandboxes
Executes the "systemctl" command used for controlling the systemd system and service manager
Reads CPU information from /sys indicative of miner or evasive malware
Reads the 'hosts' file potentially containing internal network hosts
Sample has stripped symbol table
Sample tries to kill a process (SIGKILL)
Sample tries to set the executable flag
Sleeps for long times indicative of sandbox evasion
Suricata IDS alerts with low severity for network traffic
Tries to connect to HTTP servers, but all servers are down (expired dropper behavior)
Uses the "uname" system call to query kernel version information (possible evasion)
Writes ELF files to disk
Writes shell script file to disk with an unusual file extension
