# Shell BotKiller
We'll post findings from an infected confluence-systems we investigated recently, to show how it looks/feel like. The most systems we took a look at were infected with mining-bots like kerberods.
With the rise of inexpensive Virtual Servers and popular services that install insecurely by default, coupled with some juicy vulnerabilities (read: RCE - Remote Code Execution), like CVE-2015-5377 and CVE-2015-1427, this year will be an interesting one for Elasticsearch. Elasticsearch provides plenty of targets for people to exploit and create server-based botnets but in fairness it is not only Elasticsearch that suffers from critical vulnerabilities there is also ShellShock, mongodb-exploits and very recently a bug that hit WebSphere, JBoss, Jenkins and OpenNMS.
## Commands for detect infections
1. Check crontab entries `ls -lrth /var/spool/cron/crontabs`
2. Check temp dir `ls -la /tmp`
3. Check shm dir `ls -la /dev/shm`
4. Check your dirs inside opt `ls -la /opt/`
5. Check zombie processes `ps -ef`
## How prevent it
1. Update your system/softwares
2. Set right permissions to your user
## Example of Infected Server
### Awkward crontab entries for a user
```shell
/var/spool/cron/crontabs # ls -lrth
total 4.0K
-rw------- 1 root netdev 285 Apr 15 15:34 tmp.Rj8JOI
-rw-r--r-- 1 root netdev 0 Apr 16 12:42 root
```
```
# cat tmp.Rj8JOI
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.

### Zombie processes
To kill a zombie (process) you have to kill its parent process (just like real zombies!), but the question was how to find it.
- Find the zombie
```shell
# ps aux | grep 'Z'
```
- What you get is Zombies and anything else with a Z in it, so you will also get the grep
```
# ps aux | grep 'Z'
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
usr1 13572 0.0 0.0 7628 992 pts/2 S+ 19:40 0:00 grep --color=auto Z
usr1 93572 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?? Z 19:40 0:00 something
```
- Find the zombie's parent
```shell
# pstree -p -s 93572
init(1)---cnid_metad(1311)---cnid_dbd(5145)
```
In this case you do not want to kill that parent process and you should be quite happy with one zombie, but killing the immediate parent process 5145 should get rid of it.
#### Example
```shell
# ps -ef
