New strain of Linux Malware could get serious

Hii  Guyzz
How are you all !!

I am here again with a new post...


Linux / Shishiga is a new strain of linux malware that is raising major concern as it could be transform into a dangerous widespread security threat. Researchers of this new strain of malware have revealed it is uses four different protocols they are : SSH, Telnet, HTTP and  BitTorrent.

This topic discusses the process, similarity other strain of linux malware, structure and potential evolution of Shishiga and as well as some strategies for protecting devices for the infection of Shshiga and other similar worms.

Eset on Tuesday disclosed the threat, which represent the new lua family unrelated to previously seen LuaBot malware.

Lua is a programming language own by its lightweight embeddable nature which makes its an efficient scripting language. which supports procedural programming,  object -oriented programming , functional programming & data despriction.  "Lua is a language of choice of APT markers", note by Nick Bilogorskiy senior officer of threat operation at Cyhphort


Linux/Shishiga "uses a series of modules in a scripting language called "lua" which gives it more flexible design. Beacuse of its modular design , " Its likely that variants of this code with a various of capbailites will circulat.


How it works

Linux targets GNU/Linux common infection vector based on brute-forcing weak credentials on a built in password list . The malware uses the list to try a different type of passwords in an effort  to gain access . This linux used approach by Moose/Linux with more added capability of brute-forcing SSH credentials.Linux/Moose is a malware family that primarily targets Linux-based consumer routers, cable and DSL modems, and other embedded computers.
SSH stands for Secure Shell.
and it's a secure way to remotely access a site's server. SSH credentials are the login details: Server address etc.

How to be get safe from it 

>To prevent your devices from being harm by  Shishiga and same as worms you should not use default Talent and SSH credentials. 
>Shishiga looks like it is targeted towdards data centers or IOT devices 
An IOT device is any nonstandard computing device that connects wirelessly to a network and has the ability to transmit data.
Most Linux machines either are running in data centers or embedded in IOT devices

This is all for today thank you all.
