Discovery of Linux/IRCTelnet suggests troubling new DDoS menace could get worse.

You know, what I want is for someone to post some code that tells me whether my IoT devices have been infected. I mean really, I've got several Beaglebone's running Debian with "debian/temppwd" as the root password connected to the Internet, and I really don't give a sh*t, but I am curious. Marc

It's called an "antivirus".

Isn't that the general problem in this case? Sorry if I come across as blunt, but I need my coffee in the morning.

A quick search for "Anti-Virus Linux" found this gem... Why You Don’t Need an Antivirus On Linux (Usually)[^] So don't worry about it. There is no malware for Linux. These IoT attacks are all a figbox of your imagination.

I see a huge opportunity here for security consulting and white hat services. :doh:

Take a look at Clam AV[^]. They have an official port in the Debian repo. It's not clear if that's just x86 Debian or also various assorted arm platforms too; but if a (primarilly windows) sysadmin at my previous job was able to build the source on sn HP True64 Unix/Dec Alpha box in a day despite having to use CD-R's to sneakernet dependencies across an airgap I'm almost certain you should have no real trouble getting it built on your bbones.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

Nice - it installed without issues on the Beaglebone. Though, running clamscan the root folder eventually timed out with the terse message "Killed". :~ Marc

A solution to the problem is to put these relatively dumber, less maintainable IOT devices security zones behind firewal and connect them using security gateways that has better ownership control, also in the same corresponding sec zones. Normal peoples don't open their houses to just anyone in the world, the same should be true on the internet ...

Now that is _interesting_! :thumbsup: What was the result? Were you able to discover anything?
