New Lightning Framework Exposes Linux To Rootkits and Backdoor Threats

A new and previously undetected malware dubbed 'Lightning Framework' targets Linux systems and can be used to backdoor infected devices using SSH and deploy multiple types of rootkits. . Described as a "Swiss Army Knife" in a report published today by Intezer, Lightning Framework is a modular malware that also comes with support for plugins. "The framework has both passive and active capabilities for communication with the threat actor, including opening up SSH on an infected machine, and a polymorphic malleable command and control configuration," Intezer security researcher Ryan Robinson said . . Tempest Suite is an emerging Linux malicious software that deploys rootkits and covert entry points, enabling unauthorized SSH connections for cybercriminals..

Ensure Digital Safety By Verifying Crypto Applications Against Backdoors

At the beginning of the year, I did something I've never done before: I made a new year's resolution. From here on out, I pledged, I would install only digitally signed software I could verify hadn't been tampered with by someone sitting between me and the website that made it available for download. . It seemed like a modest undertaking, but in practice, it has already cost me a few hours of lost time. With practice, it's no longer the productivity killer it was. Still, the experience left me smarting. In some cases, the extra time I spent verifying signatures did little or nothing to make me more secure. And too many times, the sites that took the time to provide digital signatures gave little guidance on how to use them.. It seemed like a modest undertaking, but in practice, it has already cost me a few hours of lost tim. beginning, something, never, year's, resolution. . LinuxSecurity.com Team
