Ebury


This payload has been used to compromise kernel.org back in August of 2011 and has hit cPanel Support which in turn, has infected quite a few cPanel servers. It is a credential stealing payload which steals SSH keys, passwords, and potentially other credentials.

This family is part of a wider range of tools which are described in detail in the operation windigo whitepaper by ESET.
