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
