Signature
Antivirus / Scanner detection for submitted sample
Connects to many ports of the same IP (likely port scanning)
Executes the "crontab" command typically for achieving persistence
Executes the "iptables" command to insert, remove and/or manipulate rules
Found strings related to Crypto-Mining
Malicious sample detected (through community Yara rule)
Multi AV Scanner detection for submitted file
Opens /sys/class/net/* files useful for querying network interface information
Sample tries to persist itself using cron
Tries to load the MSR kernel module used for reading/writing to CPUs model specific register
Uses known network protocols on non-standard ports
Yara detected Xmrig cryptocurrency miner
