Background Since the Log4J vulnerability was exposed, we see more and more malware jumped on the wagon, Elknot, Gafgyt, Mirai are all too familiar, on February 9, 2022, 360Netlab's honeypot system captured an unknown ELF file propagating through the Log4J vulnerability. What stands out is that the network traffic generated by this sample triggered a DNS Tunnel alert in our system, We decided to take a close look, and indeed, it is a new botnet family, which we named B1txor20 based on its prop

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
