show moreSingle SSH login using root/root from SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_10.5. After login, the actor ran basic recon (echo $OSTYPE, ps, ps -ef, getprop) and immediately staged persistence by writing a file to /sbin/apcid via cat >/sbin/apcid, then initiated SCP transfer with scp -t /sbin/apcid. They also attempted cleanup/defense evasion by killing and removing a hidden file, killall -9 .f and rm /dev/.f. No downloads, lateral movement, or additional credentials were observed.

show moreSingle SSH session using root/root from SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_10.5. Attacker ran shell checks and recon with LC_ALL=C echo $OSTYPE, LC_ALL=C bash -c 'echo $OSTYPE', and LC_ALL=C getprop. They attempted to stage a payload named apcid from multiple locations: LC_ALL=C /dev/shm/apcid, and writes via LC_ALL=C cat >/bin/apcid, >/dev/apcid, >/sbin/apcid, >/tmp/apcid, >/usr/bin/apcid, and >/var/tmp/apcid. No downloads, persistence, port forwards, lateral movement, or artifacts were observed in the provided log.

show moreSingle SSH session using root/root. The actor executed recon commands to identify the environment (echo $OSTYPE, getprop) and then staged a binary named apcid across multiple writable paths and system directories: /dev/shm/apcid, /tmp/apcid, /var/tmp/apcid, /bin/apcid, /sbin/apcid, /usr/bin/apcid, /dev/apcid. The use of LC_ALL=C suggests scripted automation. Observed activity shows attempted payload placement/persistence via copying/redirecting apcid into common execution locations. No downloads, hashes, port forwards, or lateral movement were observed in the provided session data.

show moreSingle SSH session attempted execution of a payload from /dev/shm. The only observed activity was running LC_ALL=C /dev/shm/apcid followed by cleanup with LC_ALL=C rm /dev/shm/apcid. No valid credentials were captured, no additional commands, downloads, persistence, port forwarding, lateral movement, or other post-auth activity were observed. This shows a fileless-style execution attempt using a temporary in-memory path and immediate removal of the dropped binary.

show moreSingle SSH session using root/root from SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_10.5. Activity focused on host reconnaissance and payload staging. Commands included echo $OSTYPE and getprop to identify OS/environment, killall -9 .f to stop a process, and repeated attempts to write an executable named apcid into multiple paths: /bin/apcid, /dev/apcid, /sbin/apcid, /tmp/apcid, /usr/bin/apcid, and /var/tmp/apcid. No downloads, persistence confirmation, lateral movement, or dropped file artifacts were observed in the provided data.

The only observed command content was LC_ALL=C cat >/bin/apcid, indicating file creation in a system binary path. No credentials were captured, no additional commands, downloads, persistence actions, lateral movement, or recon were observed. No hashes or artifacts were provided.

show moreSingle SSH session using root/root from SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_10.5. The attacker checked the environment with echo $OSTYPE, getprop, ps, and ps -ef, then killed processes with killall -9 .f. They removed /dev/.f and attempted persistence by uploading a file with scp -t /sbin/apcid and writing via cat >/sbin/apcid. No additional commands, lateral movement, or downloads were observed in this session.
