15 distinct techniques documented for this family, organized by ATT&CK tactic.
These packets were encoded to obfuscate its content. During the analysis, we were able to determine the encoding algorithm used.
The binary first attempts to connect to one of the available static C2 servers. We observed that the onion C2 server had an expired certificate.

3 sources tracked across advisories, community write-ups, and news. New activity surfaces here as Mallory finds it.
A Linux-focused cryptocurrency-mining botnet that deploys Monero miner modules, maintains persistence via crontab, retrieves C2 infrastructure from Pastebin and a hardcoded onion fallback, and spreads by exploiting multiple RCE vulnerabilities and brute-forcing exposed services. The newer version also includes a BlueKeep/RDP scanner to identify vulnerable Windows systems.
Linux-based malware/botnet that uses Pastebin for C2, installs Monero mining payloads, spreads laterally via SSH and by scanning/exploiting Jenkins and Redis servers, persists via cron jobs, and deletes evidence.
A botnet of hijacked Linux servers involved in stealthy crypto-mining operations; its operators added a BlueKeep scanner to identify vulnerable Windows systems for future targeting or resale.
