An Analysis of Linux.Ngioweb Botnet
released on 2019-06-21 @ 12:12:52 PM
On May 27, 2019, Our Unknown Threat Detect System highlighted a suspicious ELF file, and till this day, the detection rate on VT is still only one with a very generic name. We determined that this is a Proxy Botnet, and it is a Linux version variant of the Win32.Ngioweb malware. We named it Linux.Ngioweb. It shares a lot of code with Win32.Ngioweb, except that it has DGA features. We registered one of the DGA C2 domain names (enutofish-pronadimoful-multihitision.org) and was able to observe the Bot connections.
