ISC SANS diary entries (Jun 17–25, 2026) covering several operational threats and observations: a detailed discussion of Linux process name masquerading (MITRE T1036) and rootkit/obfuscation techniques (including reference to the Velvet Ant group); renewed notes about active webshells (new variants observed on GitHub); an eBanking phishing campaign leveraging IPv4‑mapped IPv6 addresses; analysis of coordinated SSH brute‑force activity over the prior three months; and a post about CVE-2024-40766 where the vendor patch fixed the bug but an insecure configuration remained.
