Rakos is a Linux malware family observed in 2016 that targets multiple processor architectures, including x86, x86-64, and MIPS, indicating an intent to operate across heterogeneous Linux environments. Publicly documented artifacts for the family include multiple versioned builds and memory-forensics tooling capable of detecting Rakos indicators of compromise and extracting embedded configuration and ping-request data from infected systems. The malware communicates with command-and-control infrastructure over HTTPS. Available high-confidence information supports that Rakos runs on Linux systems and maintains remote operator-controlled configuration, but the supplied facts do not establish a more specific functional class such as botnet, backdoor, or worm, nor do they reliably document its initial infection vector, victim sectors, or threat-actor attribution.
