Test Process using all CPU

Sat Jun 11, 2016 5:40 pm

Hey, first post but struggling to figure this one out.

Fairly new to Linux but have managed to get raspbian lite installed on the pi2 along with zoneminder to manage some ip cameras (figure it's more secure this way) however the Pi kept crashing after sever hours and was unable to identify the issue at first. Was able to notice that the system became slower towards the point at which it was unresponsive. From here I looked at the processor usage and can see on the root user a process with the command of /usr/sbin/test is being started over and over and not really finishing so eventually using all of the processor.

Any ideas where I can stop this process being started? Thanks for any help, sorry for formatting, typed this on a mobile.

Same for me.

It looks like a "virus". From strace and tcpdump I can see this process connects to 210.175.78.126 and tries to log in as USER Camel to something.

Also, I do not have /usr/sbin/test at all.

pi@rpi2 ~ $ ls -al /usr/sbin/test
ls: cannot access /usr/sbin/test: No such file or directory
pi@rpi2 ~ $
