Rocke, also known as Rocke Group, is a China-based financially motivated threat actor known primarily for cryptojacking operations targeting Linux systems. The group deploys cryptocurrency-mining malware and conducts post-compromise activity including downloading additional malicious components, extracting archived payloads, and compiling delivered C source code locally with GCC. Rocke performs host reconnaissance, including process and process-ID discovery and collection of kernel and architecture information through native system commands. Its tooling has used compressed or packed artifacts and has deleted files on compromised hosts, consistent with defense-evasion and operational-cleanup activity.
