show moreSSH login with pi/5Z@@P0me56gN$S#. Attacker checked system info with uname -a, CPU count from /proc/cpuinfo, top processes, and searched writable directories (/dev/shm, /tmp, /var/run, /mnt, /root, /). They staged and wrote /tmp/w.sh (script, 1.4 KB, sha256:bc36e729c6463e7120677c0d59b9d793401b320520201043048577d4d94cee28), then made it executable. They also queried crontab and attempted to add an @reboot persistence entry to run /tmp/w.sh with arguments "astats" "netai" "kstats" "http 80 az". No downloads, lateral movement, or other files were observed in this session.

show moreSingle SSH session from SSH-2.0-Go using credentials pi/5Z@@P0me56gN$S#. Attacker checked system info with uname -a and enumerated CPU/processes (cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor | wc -l; ps -eo pid,pcpu,comm --sort=-pcpu | head -n 10). They probed writable locations with sh -c 'for d in /dev/shm /tmp /var/run /mnt /root /; do cd "$d" 2>/dev/null && pwd && break; done'. In /tmp they created /tmp/w.sh via shell redirection and chmod +x, then attempted persistence by reading crontab and adding an @reboot entry referencing /tmp/w.sh with arguments "astats" "netai" "kstats" "http 80 az". No downloads, lateral movement, or dropped-file artifacts were observed.
