The script 'packer/provisioners/post_install.sh' exhibits malicious behavior by performing several harmful actions: - **Deletes user and root history files**: Uses secure deletion methods to remove history files, potentially to conceal malicious activities. - **Clears system log files**: Erases log files from '/var/log', hindering the ability to audit and investigate system actions. - **Disables the root account**: Locks the root account password without ensuring alternative secure administrative access, possibly preventing legitimate administrative operations. - **Sets a weak default password ('changeme') for the 'admin' user**: Introduces a significant security risk by using an easily guessable password, facilitating unauthorized access. These actions can be exploited by an attacker to gain unauthorized access, disrupt legitimate operations, and prevent system recovery. The combination of log and history deletion, disabling of root access, and setting weak credentials indicates malicious intent to compromise system security and conceal nefarious activities.

This code contains heavily obfuscated validation logic that uses unsafe dynamic code execution techniques. The obfuscation appears deliberate to hide functionality, and the use of new Function() creates a significant security risk. Without being able to fully deobfuscate the code, it's impossible to determine exactly what the dynamically generated code does, but the techniques used match those commonly found in malicious code.

This code retrieves a DLL from hxxp://example[.]com/tts/Trade.dll and a ZIP file from hxxp://example[.]com/tts/TdxTradeServer-0.1_20170823174759.zip, modifies the DLL with user-provided credentials, and sets up a server environment. The absence of file integrity or signature checks significantly increases the risk of executing malicious code. Embedding user account details in the DLL also raises privacy concerns. Reliance on potentially unsafe external URLs for core functionality further escalates the threat potential.

The script attempts to install software from a typosquatted GitHub repository (github[.]com/radareorgg/radare2) instead of the legitimate Radare2 repository. It executes downloaded code with root privileges without verification, which is characteristic of a supply chain attack. The attacker uses typosquatting ('radareorgg' vs 'radare') to masquerade as the legitimate Radare2 project, potentially delivering malware through the malicious installation script. The use of sudo privileges and immediate execution of unverified downloaded code presents a critical security risk.

This file contains a payload delivery mechanism that employs multiple layers of obfuscation to hide its true behavior. The code reverses an encoded string, decodes it from base64, and decompresses it using zlib before executing the resulting code via exec(). The inclusion of libraries such as os, urllib[.]request, and ctypes indicates intentions to interact with the file system, perform network communication, and manipulate memory at a low level. These techniques are consistent with malicious supply chain attacks and are designed to evade detection. The payload’s hidden functionality requires close scrutiny, as it poses a serious security risk.
