show moreSSH brute-force/login attempt using test/77hfr$Cd=Z$=sM! from an SSH-2.0-Go client. After login, attacker checked system info with uname -a, counted CPUs via /proc/cpuinfo, and listed top CPU processes with ps -eo pid,pcpu,comm --sort=-pcpu | head -n 10. They searched writable locations with sh -c 'for d in /dev/shm /tmp /var/run /mnt /root /; do cd "$d" 2>/dev/null && pwd && break; done'. They then staged a payload in /tmp by creating w.sh with cat > "w.sh" and chmod +x w.sh. Persistence was attempted via crontab: CRON="$(crontab -l 2>/dev/null || true)"; then a grep check for /tmp/w.sh "astats" "netai" "kstats" "ssh 2 az", followed by adding an @reboot entry invoking /tmp/w.sh. No files were dropped in the honeypot session beyond the script creation command, and no downloads, port forwards, or lateral movement were observed.
