I think Linux ransomware has been attempted numerous times before and each time failed...
-
@chabad360 ahahah yes, but I will just write a simple script encrypting all files on disk of the victim and I will install it personally on his computer. I'll be the spreading agent
-
@deviloper that would work... but for G-d's sake you'd have to make it bootable so you can get Root!
-
@IntrusionCM how do you get Root on a Linux system if you don't know the password?
last I checked, you boot up a live image (or install disk, other Linux system, etc.), Login to that as root, and chroot your way in. -
@chabad360 By using bugs? there are many linux ransomwares...
And many servers out there running on linux "as installed" because who needs security....
Linux can be secure. But there is no perfect security.
And I think that the known flaws / bugs and so on are only the tip of the iceberg. -
@IntrusionCM there are many Linux ransomwares? I thought the last time someone tried it failed.
True, there are many ways in, but even after that not necessarily will it get you root.
At the end of the day it's much more challenging to get ransomware/malwere on to a Linux system, and to have it run well. -
@deviloper @chabad360 @IntrusionCM
Kubernetes would just kick the infected container out, and boot up a few new ones.
A good Linux ransomware would check for AWS S3 connections, start encrypting bucket contents 😄 -
@chabad360 how? well... the moron setup a NAS con ssh access: user:root, pwd:root and wrote it down on a postit on his desk
