Antivirus / Scanner detection for submitted sample
Antivirus detection for dropped file
Connects to many ports of the same IP (likely port scanning)
Drops files in suspicious directories
Drops invisible ELF files
Executes the "crontab" command typically for achieving persistence
Modifies the '.bashrc' or '.bash_profile' file typically for persisting actions
Multi AV Scanner detection for submitted file
Protects files from modification
Sample tries to persist itself using cron
Sample tries to set files in /etc globally writable
Writes identical ELF files to multiple locations
