Discovery of new UEFI rootkit exposes an ugly truth: The attacks are invisible to us
Turns out they're not all that rare. We just don't know how to find them.
Linux Threat Hunting: 'Syslogk' a kernel rootkit found under development in the wild
Introduction Rootkits are dangerous pieces of malware. Once in place, they are usually really hard to detect. Their code is typically more challenging to write than other malware, so developers resort to code reuse from open source projects. As rootkits are very interesting to analyze, we are always looking out for these kinds of samples […]

Reptile Malware Targeting Linux Systems
Reptile is an open-source kernel module rootkit that targets Linux systems and is publicly available on GitHub. [1] Rootkits are malware that possess the capability to conceal themselves or other malware. They primarily target files, processes, and network communications for their concealment. Reptile’s concealment capabilities include not only its own kernel module but also files, directories, file contents, processes, and network traffic. Unlike other rootkit malware that typically only provide concealment capabilities, Reptile goes a step further by offering a reverse...
