Remarkable expressions about Linıx-based malwares from SANS Institute Infosec Reading Room:
5. Conclusions
Despite popular perception, Linux can be vulnerable to a variety of malware. Existing host-based defense such as antivirus software is marginal at detecting or preventing Linux malware threats. Based on organizational risk tolerance additional security controls may be required to prevent or identify Linux malware infections. Utilizing a combination of system hardening techniques and network based controls can provide an additional layer of security. Incident response capabilities may also require adjustment to detect and respond to the growing threat of Linux malware.
