faizil 0 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Hi all, newbie here.. Regarding to this: How To Tell If Your Server Has Fallen Foul Of WindigoESET researchers, who named Windigo after a mythical creature from Algonquian Native American folklore because of its cannibalistic nature, are appealing for Unix system administrators and webmasters to run the following command which will tell them if their server is compromised or not: $ ssh -G 2>&1 | grep -e illegal -e unknown > /dev/null && echo "System clean" || echo "System infected" I just enter those command on my android smartphone using "Terminal Emulator" apps..and it says: "System infected" Holy cow! I cant believe it! Can somebody help me with this? Is this some kind of mistake or error? TQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 4,712 Posted March 26, 2014 Administrators Share Posted March 26, 2014 It's a threat targeting Unix systems so the command shouldn't be run on smartphones running Android or iOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Arakasi 549 Posted March 26, 2014 Solution Share Posted March 26, 2014 Android is linux, runs a linux kernel, and the front facing is purely a google designed java based VM called Dalvik. Windigo is targeting Unix servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
