Dumbledore<p>Okay, so I wanted to share a little incident from a few months back that really hammered home the power of knowing your Linux internals when things go sideways. I got a frantic call, "something weird is going on with our build server, it's acting sluggish and our monitoring is throwing odd network alerts." No fancy EDR on this particular box, just the usual ssh and bash. My heart always sinks a little when it's a Linux box with vague symptoms, because you know it's time to get your hands dirty.</p><p>First thing I did, even before reaching for any specific logs, was to get a quick snapshot of the network. Instead of netstat, which honestly feels a bit dated now, I immediately hit ss -tunap. That p is crucial cause it shows you the process and user ID for each connection. What immediately jumped out was an outbound TCP connection on a high port to a sketchy-looking IP, and it was tied to a process that definitely shouldn't have been making external calls. My gut tightened. I quickly followed up with lsof -i just to be super sure no deleted binaries were clinging on to network connections.</p><p>With that IP and PID in hand, I moved to process investigation. pstree -ap was my next stop. It showed the suspicious process, and more importantly, its parent. It wasn't a child of systemd or a normal service. It was spawned by a build script that shouldn't have been executing anything like this. That hierarchical view was key. Then, to really understand what this thing was doing, I dared to strace -p &lt;PID&gt;. Watching the system calls unfurl was like watching a movie of its malicious intent: it was reading from /etc/passwd, making connect() calls, and trying to write to some odd /tmp directories. Simultaneously, I checked ls -l /proc/&lt;PID&gt;/exe to confirm the actual binary path (it was indeed in /tmp) and /proc/&lt;PID&gt;/cwd to see its working directory. No doubt, this was a rogue process.</p><p>Knowing it was a fresh infection, I immediately shifted to the filesystem. My go-to is always find / -type f -newermt '2 days ago' -print0 | xargs -0 ls -latr. This quickly pulls up any files modified in the last 48 hours, sorted by modification time. It's often where you find dropped payloads, modified configuration files, or suspicious scripts. Sure enough, there were a few more binaries in /tmp and even a suspicious .sh script in a developer's home directory. I also scanned for SUID/SGID binaries with find / -perm /6000 just in case they'd dropped something for privilege escalation. And while stat's timestamps can be tampered with, I always glance at atime, mtime, and ctime on suspicious files; sometimes, a subtle mismatch offers a tiny clue if the attacker wasn't meticulous.</p><p>The final piece of the puzzle, and often the trickiest, is persistence. I checked the usual suspects: crontab -l for root and every other user account I could find. Then I cast a wider net with grep -r "suspect_domain_or_ip" /etc/cron.* /etc/systemd/system/ /etc/rc.d/ and similar common boot directories. Sure enough, a new systemd timer unit had been added that was scheduled to execute the /tmp binary periodically. Finally, I didn't forget the user dotfiles (~/.bashrc, ~/.profile, etc.). It’s surprising how often an attacker will drop a malicious alias or command in there, assuming you won't dig deep into a developer's setup.</p><p>Long story short, we quickly identified the ingress vector, isolated the compromise, and cleaned up the persistence. But what really stuck with me is how quickly you can triage and understand an incident if you're comfortable with these fundamental Linux commands. There's no substitute for getting your hands dirty and really understanding what strace is showing you or why ss is superior to netstat in a high-pressure situation. These tools are your best friends in a firefight.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/incidentresponse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>incidentresponse</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/blueteam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>blueteam</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/forensics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>forensics</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/shell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>shell</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/bash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bash</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/sysadmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sysadmin</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>infosec</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/threathunting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>threathunting</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/lessonslearned" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lessonslearned</span></a></p>

Futurist Jim Carroll<p>Daily Inspiration: "The euphoria of winning is often soon offset by the reality of achieving!" - Futurist Jim Carroll</p><p>Do you remember that phrase, "underpromise and overdeliver." It's a useful mindset for achieving goals!</p><p>But what happens if you "overpromise and underdeliver" - does that work?</p><p>Nope.</p><p>Lots of folks are soon to find that out.</p><p>Remember the Fyre Festival? Awesome times! The reality? It was so underdelivered that it became the subject of not one, but two full-length documentaries - including one called "Fyre: The Greatest Party that Never Happened."</p><p>Massive promises never delivered. Oops. The founder went to jail.<br>So - to that point - a lot of people now expect things to suddenly get massively better in the next little while because, well, all the problems will be fixed.</p><p>Here's the thing - it's going to be tough to improve on an economy that is already firing on all cylinders. It's going to be difficult to bring back entire industries - think about the automotive sector - that have not already made the investments that are necessary to get to the future. It's going to be difficult to provide jobs that require newly emerging skills if you haven't done the retraining necessary with people to fill those jobs. It's not going to be easy to have a successful economy that is massively reliant on migrant labor if you are going to try to terrorize those people. &nbsp;It's going to be tough to take away healthcare and old age security from folks when the very people who voted for come to realize that you were talking about taking away their healthcare and old age security! It's going to be difficult to fire millions of federal workers when people suddenly come to realize how those workers make things function.</p><p>Oops. Fun times ahead.</p><p>Here's the thing about overpromising - as soon as it becomes apparent that all you can do is underdeliver, mindsets move. </p><p><a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Overpromise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Overpromise</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Underdeliver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Underdeliver</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/LeadershipLessons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LeadershipLessons</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/RealityCheck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RealityCheck</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/SustainableSuccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SustainableSuccess</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/TrustMatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TrustMatters</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Innovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Innovation</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/CorporateChallenges" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CorporateChallenges</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Expectations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Expectations</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/LessonsLearned" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LessonsLearned</span></a></p><p>Original post: <a href="https://jimcarroll.com/2024/11/daily-inspiration-leadership-success-the-euphoria-of-winning-is-often-soon-offset-by-the-reality-of-achieving/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">jimcarroll.com/2024/11/daily-i</span><span class="invisible">nspiration-leadership-success-the-euphoria-of-winning-is-often-soon-offset-by-the-reality-of-achieving/</span></a></p>
