Pumakit Linux Rootkit Uses Stealth Tactics

The Pumakit Linux rootkit employs advanced stealth techniques to evade detection. It uses a staged deployment, activating only under specific conditions, such as secure boot checks. The rootkit embeds necessary files as ELF binaries within the dropper, enhancing its ability to persist and remain undetected. This sophisticated malware poses a severe risk to Linux systems, indicating a high level of development and a need for enhanced endpoint security solutions.
