(Podcast) VoidLink represents a massive leap in Linux malware evolution

Описание: Are your *Linux cloud servers* really safe? 🛡️ In this episode, we dive deep into **VoidLink**, a terrifyingly sophisticated new malware framework that is specifically designed to hunt in modern cloud environments! ☁️💻

Discovered by researchers at *Check Point**, VoidLink isn’t your average virus. This advanced, cloud-native framework is written in **Zig, Go, and C**, showing a level of technical expertise that suggests it was built for professional or commercial use. We explore how this "ghost in the machine" can automatically detect if it is running inside **Kubernetes or Docker* and adapt its malicious behavior on the fly.

*In this episode, we cover:*
*The Stealth Factor:* How VoidLink uses a custom encrypted messaging layer called *'VoidStream'* to camouflage its traffic as normal web activity.
*Rootkit Mastery:* Its ability to hide processes and files using *eBPF-based rootkits* and *LKM modules* depending on your kernel version.
*Cloud Reconnaissance:* How it queries metadata for major providers like **AWS, GCP, Azure, Alibaba, and Tencent**.
*The Ultimate Disappearing Act:* VoidLink’s aggressive *anti-forensic modules* that trigger *self-deletion* and log wiping if a debugger or tampering is detected.

With at least *35 default plugins* capable of everything from *credential harvesting* (SSH keys and API tokens) to **lateral movement**, VoidLink represents a massive leap in Linux malware evolution. 🚀
