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

Concrete signature match: Trojan - Appears legitimate but performs malicious actions for Linux platform, family Mirai

Summary:

This detection identifies Trojan:Linux/Mirai.HAC, a variant of the Mirai malware family specifically targeting Linux-based devices, often including IoT systems. Mirai typically compromises vulnerable systems to enlist them into botnets used for launching large-scale distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. This concrete detection, reinforced by machine learning behavioral analysis, indicates a high-confidence identification of this severe threat.

Severity:
High

Remediation Steps:
1. Isolate the detected Linux system or device from the network immediately to prevent further compromise and participation in attacks. 2. Perform a comprehensive scan with up-to-date security software; for IoT devices, a factory reset may be necessary. 3. Ensure all operating systems, firmware, and applications are fully patched and change any default or weak credentials, which Mirai frequently exploits. 4. Monitor network traffic for unusual activity originating from the compromised device.
