$ cat analysis.txt
=== THREAT ANALYSIS REPORT ===
Threat Name: Backdoor:Linux/Mirai!MTB
Classification:
Type:Backdoor
Platform:Linux
Family:Mirai
Detection Type:Concrete
Known malware family with identified signatures
Suffix:!MTB
Detected via machine learning and behavioral analysis
Detection Method:Behavioral
Confidence:Very High
False-Positive Risk:Low

Concrete signature match: Backdoor - Provides unauthorized remote access for Linux platform, family Mirai

Summary:

This detection signifies a Mirai-family backdoor variant, primarily targeting Linux/IoT devices, but exhibiting sophisticated capabilities to exploit both Windows systems and Microsoft SQL Servers. It establishes command-and-control to download further payloads, execute commands, and likely aims to expand its botnet or compromise enterprise SQL databases through techniques like SQL injection and Windows persistence.

Severity:
High

Remediation Steps:
Immediately isolate the affected system, perform a comprehensive malware scan, and ensure all operating systems, applications, and SQL Server instances are fully patched. Review network logs for outbound C2 communication (e.g., to ports 8888, 8443) and reset any potentially compromised credentials on affected systems, especially for SQL accounts.
