Signature
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
Sample deletes itself
Sample reads /proc/mounts (often used for finding a writable filesystem)
Sample tries to kill a massive number of system processes
Sample tries to kill multiple processes (SIGKILL)
Sample tries to persist itself using /etc/profile
Sample tries to persist itself using cron
Sample tries to persist itself using System V runlevels
Sample tries to set files in /etc globally writable
Terminates several processes with shell command 'killall'
Writes identical ELF files to multiple locations
