Cybersecurity researchers from the Sysdig Threat Research Team (TRT) discovered a new open source tool used by hackers to steal credentials and move laterally throughout the target network.
Detailing their findings in a blog post, the researchers said the tool is called SSH-Snake, and was released in early January this year. Allegedly it’s already being used by threat actors in the wild to map out the target network, most likely in preparation of further attack escalation.
