Security researchers at Intezer have discovered a powerful piece of Linux malware, dubbed Lightning Framework, which can remain undetected and install rootkits. The malware has a modular design and a range of capabilities rarely seen in malware targeting Linux systems. It uses different modules for persistence, SSH connection, network traffic analysis and observation, and IP network monitoring. The malware attempts to remain undetected by using typosquatting and masquerading techniques. It can execute plugins, support commands received from the command-and-control server, and achieve persistence by creating a script to run the downloader at system boot.
