2、实验型僵尸网络Rex开始引入Mirai组件
标题:The Super-Dangerous Rex Botnet Has Only Around 150 Bots
Rex incorporates some features from the Mirai malware

//BEGIN
The Rex Linux malware is not as widespread and efficient as initially thought, and currently, the multi-featured Rex malware is only in command of a tiny botnet of around 150 devices.
目前Rex僵尸网络只有150个感染节点,显然不如预期的传播那么广、同时传播的效率也不及预期。

Despite the effort put into porting features from a more successful IoT/Linux malware, Rex failed to match Mirai's capabilities, and according to his data, Benkow says that at the moment, the Rex P2P botnet only has around 150 bots, a laughable botnet statistic for a group that threatens companies with DDoS attacks.
Because of these and many other coding snafus, Benkow is not convinced that Rex is the threat that he believed to be in August, when he released his first research.
"Regarding how the bot master uses this botnet, we can easily conclude that it may not be part of a big cyber gang, Rex Botnet looks more like an experimental botnet," the researcher said.
研究人员根据代码编写的质量以及实际的效果看,这个Rex看起来更像是一个实验室级别的僵尸网络。
点评:虽然有点东施效颦的意思,但是一旦Rex他们学成,不会是好消息。 |
