Evooo1Bot Linux Botnet Exploits Known Flaws to Turn Edge Devices Into SOCKS5 Proxies

Researchers have identified Evooo1Bot, a Linux botnet family derived from the publicly leaked Mirai source code, which exploits known vulnerabilities in edge‑network devices to conscript them as SOCKS5 proxies. The malware retains the original DDoS functionality while extending the framework with proxy‑routing capabilities. No zero‑day vulnerabilities have been reported; the attacks rely on unpatched known flaws.
