An attempt to create a backdoor in Linux
An attempt to create a backdoor in Linux
Hi,
just wishing you a merry christmas and a happy new year, by presenting to
you a new trojan for Linux. It`s professionally made by Apple Computer
Inc. (must be somebody who threatened them to do it).

I'm afraid I don't see anything evil in that output. Care to clarify?

That's entirely different from your above post, and is related to differences(/bugs) in various UEFI implementations. There's a bug entry for tracking such UEFI issues.
Re: An attempt to create a backdoor in Linux
Programming is over my head, but it looks like Apple has a weird UEFI firmware to connect it to a systemd metadata crawler.

I ... am not sure you are interpreting the output correctly. Maybe you should examine the suspected security issue in more depth before making such claims.

Are you running this on an Apple computer? If so, that may be where this is coming from. Personally, I’ve never seen that output in my life, which makes me think it’s specific to your setup.

Re: An attempt to create a backdoor in Linux
Given that the hostname in that syslog output appears to be "ok-air" which would be the tail end of macbook-air, I suspect it is.
I'm tempted to lock this whole thread as it appears to me to be a massive troll.

The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
