show moreAutomated reconnaissance scanner using Go-based SSH client. Single session attempted root/12345678 credentials successfully. Executed 36+ commands during 14-second window targeting system enumeration: OS version, CPU info, memory, disk, kernel details via /proc analysis. Checked user accounts (/etc/passwd, /etc/shadow), environment variables, command history, hostname, user ID. Tested write permissions to /tmp. Commands show systematic host profiling typical of botnet fingerprinting or vulnerability assessment scanning. No malware payloads downloaded, persistence mechanisms, or lateral movement observed in this session. Attack pattern consistent with initial reconnaissance phase of automated infrastructure scanning campaigns. Go SSH client suggests Go-based botnet or scanner tool. Standard weak credential exploitation without further post-exploitation activity captured.

show moreSuccessful SSH brute-force attack using weak credential root/123456. Single authenticated session established via SSH-2.0-Go client. Attacker executed systematic host reconnaissance: environment variables, CPU model, command history, hostname, filesystem hierarchy, mount points, active network listeners, and process enumeration. Commands covered processor count, memory usage, kernel version, and bash history review. No persistence mechanisms, lateral movement attempts, downloads, or malware payloads observed. Attack pattern matches automated scanning/botnet reconnaissance phase. Attacker gathered comprehensive system fingerprinting data within 10-second session window but took no further action. Weak credentials likely guessed from default/common password lists. SSH-2.0-Go client typically associated with Go-based malware or scanning frameworks.

show moreWeak creds root/1234 used for SSH access via Go-based client. Reconnaissance cmds executed: /etc/passwd enumeration, /etc/shadow access attempt, /proc/cpuinfo & /proc/version profiling, /tmp write test, env var extraction, id/whoami/hostname checks, cmd history review. Network diagnostics: ifconfig, ip addr, netstat, ss. Process/filesystem inspection: ps aux, df, mount. No malware dl, persistence, lateral movement, or file transfers. Duration 22sec with 1 failed auth before compromise. Activity limited to passive system enumeration suggesting pre-attack reconnaissance phase of larger operation. Characteristic of automated scanning framework or botnet recon module.

show moreAutomated recon from Go-based SSH client. Single session: weak creds root/12. Profiling: /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow headers, /proc/version, environment vars, CPU model, kernel version. Wrote test file /tmp (write validation). Executed hostname, id, history, system config enumeration. No malware, persistence, lateral movement, or cmd exec beyond local recon. 38 cmds in 32 sec. Pattern: automated scanning/initial foothold assessment. Custom Go SSH tooling vs std binary. No downloads, priv esc, suspicious processes, or network connections. Targeting improperly configured systems via weak credentials rather than credential stuffing.
