RustDuck Botnet Rebuilds in Rust to Hijack Routers and Servers for DDoS
High
Summary
A new botnet, RustDuck, is leveraging Rust programming to hijack routers, IP cameras, and servers for DDoS attacks. Developed by QiAnXin's XLab, the botnet utilizes a two-stage approach, exploiting vulnerabilities in devices like Huawei, D-Link, and Totolink routers, as well as web applications such as ThinkPHP and Jenkins. Its sophisticated evasion techniques, including sandboxing detection and encrypted communication, make it difficult to analyze and disrupt, posing a growing threat to online services.
