The RondoDox botnet has experienced a significant evolution, with a remarkable 650% increase in its exploitation capabilities. Initially focused on DVR systems with only two exploit vectors, the new RondoDox v2 expands its threat landscape with over 75 distinct exploitation vectors, targeting a wide range of devices from legacy routers to modern enterprise applications.
This evolution marks a fundamental shift in botnet strategy, blending opportunistic Internet of Things (IoT) exploitation with targeted attacks on enterprise environments. Detected via honeypot telemetry, the botnet employs sophisticated techniques for command injection and features an extensive arsenal of critical vulnerabilities such as CVE-2014-6271 and CVE-2021-41773. The command-and-control infrastructure exhibits resilience against traditional blocking strategies by utilizing compromised residential IP addresses.
Technical analysis reveals that the malware employs advanced evasion techniques, including the disabling of key security frameworks and the use of obfuscation to conceal its configuration data. This adaptability enhances its infection potential across various architectures and environments while employing methods to evade automated analysis, posing a serious threat to both IoT and enterprise systems.
