Last week, Kevin wrote a diary about a marked uptick of port 34567. When I looked at some of the hosts scanning for it, I noticed that many of them are also scanning port 9527. So I put up a little honeypot for this port, and what I found is not the HTTP requests I expected (there are some vulnerabilities in webcam servers associated with this port). Instead, I found that it looks like the attacker is expecting an unauthenticated shell. Here is a typical set of commands:

/bin/busybox LA;
cd /var/tmp; echo -e "/bin/busybox telnetd -p9000 -l/bin/sh; /bin/busybox LA" > telneton; sh telneton;

The first command is a typical test if busybox is installed on the system. The attacker is expecting something like "LA: applet not found" back in return. Next, the attacker is creating a little script in /var/tmp/telneton. This script will be used to start the telnet server on port 9000. 

I haven't found yet what the "next step" will be, but am waiting for incoming telnet connections on port 9000. So far I am just getting the usual "webcam" HTTP requests on port 9000 like 

REMOTE HI_SRDK_DEV_GetHddInfo MCTP/1.0
CSeq:12
Accept:text/HDP
Func-Version:0x10
Content-Length:15
Segment-Num:0

But I think these are unrelated. Scans for port 9527 had some interesting "decay patterns" over the last few months.

Let me know if you have any insight into this activity

distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
