Agreed and let's focus on positive confirmed xor.ddos in hand. If they're back will be in big bulk of network. We can't expect enforcement in PRC to do something of these soon.
@unixfreaxjp @tWiCe
The analysis definitely covers a XOR.DDOS variant.

This is the sample referenced in the article:
https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/498f ... /analysis/

The term "Tsunami" is not part of the malware name, rather it is a name for a SYN Flood with large payload.

Thank you for the great work at KM and MMD :)

Dully noted, I shall review it thoroughly. Thank you for the kindly share.

Please help to raise awareness of ELF malware.

Have to do samples in 2 seperate posts as quota reached for attachments otherwise.
