Gorilla Botnet

(1 year ago)Sauron Wrote:

The Gorilla botnetoperates by infiltrating vulnerable IoT devices and servers. It scans for known weaknesses in software and firmware, taking advantage of these flaws to compromise systems. Once a device is breached, it establishes a connection to one of its command-and-control (C2) servers, enabling Gorilla to coordinate large-scale attacks remotely. 

After connecting to the C2 server, Gorilla springs into action, launching a series of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Utilizing various methods like UDP Flood, SYN Flood and ACK Flood the botnet overwhelms the target’s network with an excessive amount of traffic. This constant wave of data can cripple services, rendering websites and applications inoperable. 

To stay active on infected systems, Gorilla uses various techniques to ensure it keeps control. It creates a service file named custom.service in the /etc/systemd/system/ directory, which automatically runs at system startup. Additionally, Gorilla modifies critical system files, such as /etc/profile and

[font][font]Das Gorilla-Botnetz operiert, indem es anfällige IoT-Geräte und Server infiltriert. Es sucht nach bekannten Schwachstellen in Software und Firmware und nutzt diese aus, um Systeme zu kompromittieren. Sobald ein Gerät kompromittiert ist, stellt es eine Verbindung zu einem seiner Command-and-Control-Server (C2-Server) her, wodurch Gorilla groß angelegte Angriffe aus der Ferne koordinieren kann.  [/font][/font]

[font][font]Nach der Verbindung zum C2-Server wird Gorilla aktiv und startet eine Reihe von DDoS-Angriffen (Distributed Denial-of-Service). Mithilfe verschiedener Methoden wie UDP-Flood, SYN-Flood und ACK-Flood überlastet das Botnetz das Netzwerk des Ziels mit einer enormen Menge an Datenverkehr. Diese ständige Datenflut kann Dienste lahmlegen und Websites und Anwendungen unbrauchbar machen.  [/font][/font]

[font][font]Um auf infizierten Systemen aktiv zu bleiben, nutzt Gorilla verschiedene Techniken, um die Kontrolle zu behalten. Es erstellt eine Dienstdatei namens custom.service im Verzeichnis /etc/systemd/system/, die beim Systemstart automatisch ausgeführt wird. Zusätzlich modifiziert Gorilla kritische Systemdateien wie /etc/profile. [/font][/font]
