Rule name:ELF_Mirai
Author:NDA0E
Description:Detects multiple Mirai variants
Rule name:ELF_Toriilike_persist
Author:4r4
Description:Detects Torii IoT Botnet (stealthier Mirai alternative)
Reference:Identified via researched data
Rule name:linux_generic_ipv6_catcher
Author:@_lubiedo
Description:ELF samples using IPv6 addresses
Rule name:SUSP_XORed_Mozilla_Oct19
