Score:
100 / 100
Signature
Antivirus / Scanner detection for submitted sample
Antivirus detection for dropped file
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
Executes the "nc" (netcat) command used to establish arbitrary TCP or UDP connections and listens
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)
