Mallory pivots from this family to the IOCs, detections, and named campaigns that touch your stack, and pages you when something new lands.
2 distinct threat actors attributed by public researchers. Open in Mallory to see the full evidence chain and overlapping campaigns.
Shell script to install kitsune. The MEGATSUNE variable was used instead of KITSUNE.
...prior iterations known as Facefish (February 2021), Kitsune (February 2022), and Megatsune (November 2023). The use of Kitsune was also linked to a threat cluster known as Sneaky Wolf...

5 indicators attributed across vendor reports, sandbox runs, and researcher write-ups. Full values are available in Mallory.
IPs, domains, and DNS infrastructure linked to this family.
File hashes (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256) from samples and reports.
3 sources tracked across advisories, community write-ups, and news. New activity surfaces here as Mallory finds it.
Iteration of the PUMAKIT kernel rootkit lineage; also linked to the Sneaky Wolf threat cluster per BI.ZONE.
Embedded shared-object userland rootkit, identified as /lib64/libs.so, that integrates with the PUMA kernel rootkit. It is associated with LD_PRELOAD-based persistence and user-space stealth/manipulation.
Tool installed by an attacker-held shell script. The script referenced amd64.rpm-bin.link and pkg.dpkg-source.info as C2 infrastructure; the report does not explain kitsune's additional capabilities.
