   Between early November and December 2024, Palo Alto Networks researchers   
   discovered new Linux malware called Auto-color. We chose this name based on   
   the file name the initial payload renames itself after installation.   
      
   The malware employs several methods to avoid detection, such as:   
      
   Using benign-looking file names for operating   
   Hiding remote command and control (C2) connections using an advanced   
   technique similar to the one used by the Symbiote malware family   
   Deploying proprietary encryption algorithms to hide communication and   
   configuration information   
   Once installed, Auto-color allows threat actors full remote access to   
   compromised machines, making it very difficult to remove without   
   specialized software.
