Abstract
Linux applications are finding their role on important computer systems. At the same time these systems grow, they become target for malware. Therefore, understanding the security impacts of malware infections on them is essential to allow system hardening and countermeasures development. In this project, we developed tools and systems for evaluation of malicious ELF binaries to present a Linux malware landscape.

Fighting malware is currently a major security task for incident response teams, as such kind of threat is responsible for a myriad of damages, from privacy leaks to financial losses [1]
We proposed evaluating Linux malware to present a panorama of their behaviors
To evaluate Linux malware, we developed a series of tools that allowed us to trace samples and observe their interactions with the operating system
Summary
Fighting malware is currently a major security task for incident response teams, as such kind of threat is responsible for a myriad of damages, from privacy leaks to financial losses [1]. To provide proper countermeasures, understanding samples behavior is essential. Linux systems have grown their market share [2], being present as back-end of many services. Understanding the impact of Linux malware is essential to protect modern computer systems. In this project, we proposed evaluating Linux malware to present a panorama of their behaviors. Our goal was to understand their impact over the system as a whole, allowing more precise and effective incident response
