Detection:
malicious
Classification:
troj.spyw.evad.mine
Score:
92 / 100
Signature
Antivirus / Scanner detection for submitted sample
Drops invisible ELF files
Executes itself again with its parent PID as an argument (indicative of hampering debugging)
Executes the "crontab" command typically for achieving persistence
Found strings related to Crypto-Mining
Opens /sys/class/net/* files useful for querying network interface information
Performs DNS TXT record lookups
Sample deletes itself
Sample tries to persist itself using cron
Searches for CPU information (likely indicative of DDoS capability)
