show moreBrute-force attack using Go-based SSH client. Attacker attempted 8 credential combinations across 9 sessions, all targeting root account with common passwords: 123, 1234, 1234567890, 1q2w3e4r, admin123, pass123, password1, qwerty123. Upon successful authentication, executed reconnaissance commands to gather system information: system name, version, architecture via uname; uptime via /proc/uptime. Preceded recon with chattr -i command to disable immutable file attributes on bash/zsh shell configuration files in home directory, indicating intent to modify shell initialization for persistence or code injection. Command pattern suggests automated scanning framework rather than manual interaction. No malware downloads, lateral movement, or network exfiltration observed during 7-minute window. Activity consistent with mass-scanning botnet reconnaissance phase targeting poorly secured systems.
