HiddenWasp is unique for Linux-based malware in that it targets systems to remotely control them.
A new strain of malware targeting Linux systems has been identified by researchers. The malware, dubbed HiddenWasp, is believed to be used as part of a second-stage attack against already-compromised systems and is composed of a rootkit, trojan and deployment script.
“The ratio of Linux treats has increased significantly over the years” said Nacho Sanmillan, a security researcher at Intezer Labs who analyzed the malware. “However, the majority of [Linux] malware is either tied to IoT, DDoS bots or cryptominers.”
Sanmillan said what’s unique about HiddenWasp is some of the evasion techniques implemented in the malware and that it contains rootkit used to hide the main trojan implant. “Rootkits are not artifacts commonly seen deploy along simple Linux malware.”
