0nekoneko7Kaspersky releases free tool that scans Linux for known threats
boredsquirrel (he)I HIGHLY doubt that they would detect the XZ backdoor
atzanteolWhy? It’s not hard. They typically hash files and look for hits against a database of known vulnerabilities.
Yes and if viruses use something like base64 encoding or other methods, the hashes dont match anymore.
As far as I understood it, it is pretty easy to make your virus permanently un-hashable by just always changing some bits
The xz backdoor was a packaged file distributed with the standard packages though. It would be trivial to find.
This is obviously not about this known file.
It is about “would this scanner detect a system package from the official repos opening an ssh connection”
Sorry, I was responding to:
