Suspicious connections on ES

Jason_Zhang · April 22, 2015, 10:16am

Hi,

Recently I find something odd using lsof:

$ sudo lsof -p pid | grep -i tcp | awk '{print $1, $10}' | sort | uniq
freeBSD my_ip:random_port->unknown_ip:port
Intelnets my_ip:random_port->unknown_ip:port
.lz142958 my_ip:random_port->unknown_ip:port
service (ESTABLISHED)
sh (ESTABLISHED)
xudp my_ip:random_port->unknown_ip:port
zlwanby my_ip:random_port->unknown_ip:port

I've configured iptables to allow my ips to connect.
Why can those foreign ip still connect to my ES?

I use ES v1.3.9.

Thanks in advance.

Also, I've noticed there're many suspicious files in /tmp, like:

$ ls -al /tmp
26000
32
991linux
conf.n
elasticsearch/
gates.lock
git
icp
Intelip
Intelips
Intelnet
Intelnets
jrtj
log
.lz1429583673
xudp
xx32
zlwanby

Is my machine be hacked?

Is your ES instance open to the world?
Check your ES logs as well.

Yes, but I've configured iptables to avoid those foreign unknown
connections like:

$ sudo iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -s my_ip --dport 9200:9400 -j ACCEPT
$ sudo iptables -P INPUT -j DROP

I forgot to say that I set script.disable_dynamic: false to run some
external js scripts.
At that time, ES was still v1.3.7.

Yes, and those processes continue to ddos other ips...

I've stopped those processes and delete the binary files.
Also, disable the dynamic scripting.
