🧵 Backdooring #SSH daemons (sshd) via simple patches probably exists since the dawn of time. Typically, a patched and recompiled version of #OpenSSH allows a threat actor to:

1⃣ login with master password
2⃣ logging all credentials to file
3⃣ hiding logons from "last"

‼️Especially, the logging of further credentials potentially enables threat actors to maintain access in the case the backdoored #SSH daemon is detected and removed or to move laterally in the network due to password reuse.
