Linux.Darlloz is a worm which infects Linux embedded systems.[1][2]

Linux.Darlloz was first discovered by Symantec in 2013.[3] Linux.Darlloz targets the Internet of things and infects routers, security cameras, set-top boxes by exploiting a PHP vulnerability.[4][5]

The worm was based on a Proof of concept code that was released in October 2013.[6] Linux.Darlloz utilizes vulnerability (CVE-2012-1823) to exploit systems in order to compromise systems.[7]

Linux.Darlloz was later found in March 2014 to have started mining crypto currencies such as Mincoin and Dogecoin.[8][9]
