Decade of the RATs – Custom Chinese Linux Rootkits for Everyone
While 2020 is the Year of the Rat for the Chinese, it’s felt more like the Decade of the RATs. In this talk, I reveal a nearly decade-long, undetected, state-sponsored effort to strategically target the Linux servers that comprise the backbone of modern-day government and industry. Having discovered a full stack of handcrafted, tailored, Linux malware, from interactive installation script to kernel rootkits to the attacker’s control panel, I was able to construct a rare and uniquely detailed narrative of a concerted espionage effort.
