Trojanized SSH Daemon In the Wild, Sending Passwords To Iceland

Posted by timothy on from the in-iceland-they-get-massages dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It is no secret that SSH binaries can be backdoored. It is nonetheless interesting to see analysis of real cases where a trojanized version of the daemon are found in the wild. In this case, the binary not only lets the attacker log onto the server if he has a hardcoded password, the attacker is also granted access if he/she has the right SSH key. The backdoor also logs all username and passwords to exfiltrate them to a server hosted in Iceland."

    If there is one thing I truly dislike, it's getting backdoored.
