3snake is a Linux credential-stealing tool designed to capture password-authentication data from privileged servers. It monitors process events through netlink, attaches to authentication-related processes using ptrace, and traces read and write system calls to extract credential-related strings. Its documented targets include OpenSSH server authentication and sudo, with support or experimental functionality for su, SSH client authentication, and password changes. It requires a rooted Linux environment, ptrace availability, and a mounted proc filesystem. PasswordHarvester is a 3snake-derived credential stealer associated with the Gambling Goblin cybercrime operation, which has targeted Brazilian organizations and has been linked with medium-to-high confidence to Earth Berberoka.
