This is probably not the right community but I haven’t found a better one.
So I watched a video from Seytonic where he mentiond that some malware creates a windows link with the name of the usb on a usb. So I checked my usb because I remembered that I had to click 2 times on my usb to opened it. I found a link that contained cmd.exe and a name of a file next to it. Upload to the virustotal showed Raspberry Roblin worm.
I use Linux but my familly uses windows so I will have to go through all familly computers and remove the worm. Where can I find info how to remove this specific worm - Raspberry Roblin? On google I found a description about how the worm works but not specific files it creates and how to remove it.
The first page that shows up is microsoft.com and it says that windows defender detects the worm, but clearly it doesnt.
Edit: The worm was on one computer and it did not have windows defender installed. Seems like malware removed it and also disabled automatic updates. I installed MalwareBytes and sucessfully removed the worm :)
Try to clean your USB stick. Remove the worm and maybe use a cloth to remove the dirt.
I’ll also toss this hat into the ring - sysmon this is essentially a logging tool thats a bit better/nicer than the windows default, and categorizes all logs into very neat buckets that will make watching out for strange shit much much easier.
Sysmon is part of the sysinternals suite (vetted by the community + microsoft, which is sayin somethin lol) and you can make use this as the config file to use (Uses industry-standard MITRE Att&ck framework) which you can then use to correlate to more threats/malware authors/malware artifacts if you really wanna get your hands dirty/have some fun
To level set, Microsoft owns SysInternals, and has since 2006. None of it is “community vetted”, to me that implies FOSS or something.
And here I was under the impression that using USB storage for anything else than installing operating systems was a thing of the past.
Out of curiosity, what do you use to transfer files between computers?
SCP or a share on a NAS, personally.
Not everyone can afford a NAS
You can pick up old PCs for free-$50 that’ll suffice for a nas.
Maybe you can, but most people don’t have the money or the time. Check your privilege.
Lol you’re cracked
