Axios npm Compromise: Lazarus Group Deploys Cross-Platform RAT
The axios npm package was compromised via maintainer account hijack. Malicious versions deploy a cross-platform RAT attributed to Lazarus Group (DPRK/APT38). We publish 33 new LMD signatures covering all artifacts and C2 infrastructure.

View allLinux Malware Detect
A high-performance malware scanner for Linux designed for the multi-core era. v2.0.1 introduces a foundational engine leap that delivers up to 10x faster performance than traditional scanners via hash-first short-circuiting and batch-parallel processing.
Advanced Policy Firewall
An iptables(netfilter) based firewall system for Linux servers. Provides three-fold filtering with static rules, stateful connection tracking, and sanity-based packet inspection.
Brute Force Detection
A modular shell script for parsing application logs and detecting authentication failures. Uses regex rules and integrates with APF, Shorewall, or raw iptables for blocking.
Quick Start
Get up and running in minutes. All tools install from source with a single command.
$ git clone https://github.com/rfxn/linux-malware-detect.git && cd linux-malware-detect && ./install.sh$ git clone https://github.com/rfxn/advanced-policy-firewall.git && cd advanced-policy-firewall && ./install.sh$ git clone https://github.com/rfxn/brute-force-detection.git && cd brute-force-detection && ./install.shBuilt for Real-World Linux Security
Threat-Driven Design
Built from real malware data collected at the network edge. Every detection signature comes from active threats seen in production hosting environments, not theoretical research.
Shell-Native & Lightweight
Pure bash with minimal dependencies. No agents, no daemons eating resources, no runtime interpreters. Runs on any Linux system from embedded devices to enterprise servers.
Community-Sustained
20+ years of open source development under GPL v2. No venture funding, no enterprise upsells. Sustained by the community of sysadmins who rely on these tools daily.
Protection Stack
Three tools, one defense-in-depth strategy. Layer them together for comprehensive Linux security.
