Signatures

  • Family: Mirai

    Mirai is a prevalent Linux malware infecting exposed network devices.

  • Mirai ARM payload 2 IoCs
  • Contacts a large (46734) amount of remote hosts 1 TTPs

    This may indicate a network scan to discover remotely running services.

  • Creates a large amount of network flows 1 TTPs

    This may indicate a network scan to discover remotely running services.

  • File and Directory Permissions Modification 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Adversaries may modify file or directory permissions to evade defenses.

  • Executes dropped EXE 2 IoCs
  • Modifies Watchdog functionality 1 TTPs 2 IoCs

    Malware like Mirai modifies the Watchdog to prevent it restarting an infected system.

  • Creates/modifies Cron job 1 TTPs 2 IoCs

    Cron allows running tasks on a schedule, and is commonly used for malware persistence.

  • Enumerates active TCP sockets 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Gets active TCP sockets from /proc virtual filesystem.

  • Enumerates running processes

    Discovers information about currently running processes on the system

  • Modifies systemd 2 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Adds/ modifies systemd service files. Likely to achieve persistence.

  • Writes file to system bin folder 2 IoCs
  • UPX packed file 1 IoCs

    Detects executables packed with UPX/modified UPX open source packer.

  • Changes its process name 8 IoCs
  • Reads system network configuration 1 TTPs 1 IoCs

    Uses contents of /proc filesystem to enumerate network settings.

  • Command and Scripting Interpreter: Unix Shell 1 TTPs 3 IoCs

    Execute scripts via Unix Shell.

  • Enumerates kernel/hardware configuration 1 TTPs 3 IoCs

    Reads contents of /sys virtual filesystem to enumerate system information.

  • Reads runtime system information 64 IoCs

    Reads data from /proc virtual filesystem.

  • Writes file to tmp directory 1 IoCs

    Malware often drops required files in the /tmp directory.
