    Sounds like it should at least be noticeable if you monitor resource usage?

      Yes, but they replace common tools like top or lsof with manipulated versions. This might at least trick less experienced sysadmins.

      Edit: Some found out about the vulnerability by ressource alerts. Probably very easy in a virtualized environment. The malware can’t fool the hypervisor ;)

        Not quite the monitoring I’m talking about though.

        Basically, it seems like this would be a nightmare for a home user to detect, but a company is probably gonna pick up on this quite quickly with snmp monitoring (unless it somehow does something to that).
