A new Mirai-based botnet called NoaBot is being used by threat actors as part of a crypto mining campaign since the beginning of 2023. “The capabilities of the new botnet, NoaBot, include a wormable self-spreader and an SSH key backdoor to download and execute additional binaries or spread itself to new victims,” Akamai security researcher […]
Poorly secured Linux SSH servers are being targeted by bad actors to install port scanners and dictionary attack tools with the goal of targeting other vulnerable servers and co-opting them into a network to carry out cryptocurrency mining and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. “Threat actors can also choose to install only scanners and sell the […]
The threat actors behind ShellBot are leveraging IP addresses transformed into their hexadecimal notation to infiltrate poorly managed Linux SSH servers and deploy the DDoS malware. “The overall flow remains the same, but the download URL used by the threat actor to install ShellBot has changed from a regular IP address to a hexadecimal value,” […]
BianLian malware was first detected in October 2018; the malware aims in stealing OTP authentication codes, check balances, inject push notifications, and also capable of locking device and ask users to pay the ransomware. The updated version of the malware contains a Screencast Module to records the screens of the infected device and Socks5 module […]
So what is this Osueta script all about? Osueta is a powerful python script used for exploiting the OpenSSH vulnerabilities through User-Enumeration Time based attack methodology. With a User-Enumerated Time based attack, the attacker searches for usernames on a target server. The attack is unique in the sense it makes the brute force attack more effective […]
ssh-audit is a tool for ssh server auditing. SSH1 and SSH2 protocol server support; grab banner, recognize device or software and operating system, detect compression; gather key-exchange, host-key, encryption and message authentication code algorithms; output algorithm information (available since, removed/disabled, unsafe/weak/legacy, etc); output algorithm recommendations (append or remove based on recognized software version); output security […]
An open-source version of the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol, OpenSSH, provides a powerful suite of services designed to provide encrypted communications across an unsecured network in a client-server architecture. These services are offered by OpenSSH. OpenSSH is an essential weapon in the cyber security inventory of innumerable businesses and organizations because it provides the foundation […]
A new IoT botnet malware dubbed RapperBot has been observed rapidly evolving its capabilities since it was first discovered in mid-June 2022. “This family borrows heavily from the original Mirai source code, but what separates it from other IoT malware families is its built-in capability to brute force credentials and gain access to SSH servers […]

ssh tunnel SSH tunnels to a remote server.API allows either initializing the tunnel and starting it or using a with context, which will take care of starting and stopping the tunnel. Usage scenarios One of… The post ssh tunnel: SSH tunnels to remote server appeared first on Penetration Testing.
“HASSH” is a network fingerprinting standard which can be used to identify specific Client and Server SSH implementations. The fingerprints can be easily stored, searched and shared in the form of an MD5 fingerprint. What can HASSH help with: Use in highly controlled, well understood environments, where any fingerprints outside of a known good set […]
A four-year-old severe vulnerability has been discovered in the Secure Shell (SSH) implementation library known as Libssh that could allow anyone to completely bypass authentication and gain unfettered administrative control over a vulnerable server without requiring a password. The security vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2018-10933, is an authentication-bypass issue that was introduced in Libssh version 0.6 […]
HonSSH is a high-interaction Honey Pot solution. HonSSH will sit between an attacker and a honey pot, creating two separate SSH connections between them. Features Captures all connection attempts to a text file, database or email alerts. When an attacker sends a password guess, HonSSH can automatically replace their attempt with the correct password (spoof_login […]
New linux Malware, dubbed Linux/Rakos is threatening devices and servers.The malware is written in the Go language and the binary is usually compressed with the standard UPX tool. Linux/Rakos performed via brute force attempts at SSH logins, in a similar way to that in which many Linux worms operate, including Linux/Moose (which spread by attacking Telnet […]
Apparently, frustrated users complain more often recently on various forums about their embedded devices being overloaded with computing and network tasks. What these particular posts have in common is the name of the process causing the problem. It is executed from a temporary directory and disguised as a part of the Java framework, namely “.javaxxx”.
