A polymorphic virus for Linux (Ubuntu) that scans a folder for files with a specific letter in their names, renames them, encrypts them using XOR encryption, and changes their permissions to make them inaccessible. It also appends junk bytes to its binary after execution to evade basic antivirus detection.
In this small activity on managing file permissions in Linux, I showcase how to examine permissions on files, hidden files and directories in Linux and how to alter these permissions according to the required authorization. Description on Linux commands and output of these commands are also included.
