P2Pinfect

P2Pinfect is a fast-growing multi platform botnet, the purpose of which is still unknown. Written in Rust, it is compatible with Windows and Linux, including a MIPS variant for Linux based routers and IoT devices. It is capable of brute forcing SSH logins and exploiting Redis servers in order to propagate itself both to random IPs on the internet and to hosts it can find references to in files present on the infected system.
