Deal with Crontab infection once and for all

Introducing a built-in mechanism to get rid of Crontab infection. After we battled a Crontab infection wave this August we made sure that not only the infection was stopped but a tool to find and root out CronJob injections was provided. 

On the web server, the user’s Crontab files are notoriously tricky to maintain secure because of specific format and various placement of the files outside of users’ home directories depending on specific OS and platform, which makes them a compelling target for malicious actors. With this update, we added a feature that detects any Crontab infection among the files that are owned by users of the server for every role that has access to run the scans on that server. 

The feature will be released as experimental and in Imunify360 version 6.10 it will be switched off by default. The setting MALWARE_SCANNING.crontabs allows you to enable or disable scan of the system and user crontab files for malicious jobs. Manage it through CLI:

To switch it on:

# imunify360-agent config update '{"MALWARE_SCANNING": {"crontabs": true}}'

And to switch it off:

# imunify360-agent config update '{"MALWARE_SCANNING": {"crontabs": false}}'
