Virus infested my laptops (dell 620 D820etc) 17. by doing a loopback on the cd rom cannot remove.
Hi!
I have been here before but have lost my original name and password I had an hp ssd prostream 11. Tried to install Linux side by side. Made a mess. Along the way media was purchased to re install win 8.1 from ebay. We don't know what was on that usb. The hp Died. Our other machines are hanging on. This is quite a learning experience: The virus enters through blue tooth. If you shut off all wired/wireless options in bios, it still is able to run My access point and password has been changed 2 with my isp All laptops have 17.1 machines are D620 lattitude (2)D820, (lattitude),E6400 (lattitude) It takes over as root. It has it's own, Inode directory protected by root, /rofs Then you start getting locked out of everything. I have used the following to try to eradicate the pest. 1: Dban 2 per mchine doesn't touch it. 2. GParted showed where it was /dev/sda1/ but was unable to format, delete clear. 3. I went to a laptop with internet and followed the instructions to wipe hard disk using the shred commands, no command "shred" Is there another way to wipe this without using the CD or the command? I have considered putting Dban on a USB (if possible) but am unreasonably afraid my last laptop will somehow join the ranks of the infected and I will be back to the Kindle again. Any ideas? |

Next you want to look at the HD with fdisk Code:
fdisk -lCode:
fdisk /dev/<device id>Code:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id SystemBe ware that you could have hda also. This all depends on the type of disk that is installed in the system. Once you are in there you want to delete all partitions because you are infected with a virus and you cannot trust anything on the drive anymore. At the prompt simple type a p To list all the partitions. Next you can delete them but typing d this will ask you which partition you want to delete. As said before you might as well go ahead and delete them all. After you have deleted everything verify that there are no more by typing p again. You should see no partitions. Now type w to write the partition to the disk. Disk should now be ready to install everything new again. |
"install win 8.1 from ebay." Well..... Why didn't you get it from HP?
Every device in your lan is suspect now. The only logical way is to wipe everything and replace with known clean software. Almost top every distro can easily be put on a usb and run usually. It will have the ability to install software like AV and malware detection. You can also create a BartsPE or UBCD4Win usb with free tools. I'd run a few tools. I'd make the usb on some remote system. I'd remove all lan connections during re-installs. |
Thanks here's the results

Well..... Why didn't you get it from HP?As above you will see my terminal output, but I had forgotten to mention that I went into disks to see what was going on and here is the screen shot. It should show if not I will send it again. I burned Dban and the other distros at a friends house. After Dban that showed no errors and all good, I went on as a live user. The same routine happened again. I would turn on the laptop, choose CD in bios and start up. Then I was denied permissions.: To root, to users and groups etc etc. Oddly, when I checked the network connections, wifi was not listed but wired was. I had not plugged in the lan. I also went into Disks to see what was what and found the path used as well as the partition it was stored in and the file name. I have a screen shot: |
Try running:
Code:
$ sudo umount /rofs |
Have you considered simply removing the hard drive from a laptop and reformatting it on a different (clean) computer? Make sure the BIOS of the new computer does NOT boot from the new hard drive, and there's no way for it to magically infect the clean computer.
The steps I would use are: 1) Remove 2.5" SATA drive from infected laptop. 2) Prepare a clean computer by going into the BIOS and setting it to boot ONLY from CD. Confirm that it boots up to the Debian install disc. 3) Attach the 2.5" SATA drive to the clean computer. 4) On boot, press F2 (or delete) to confirm it will boot ONLY from CD. Save; boot to Debian install disc. 5) Choose manual partitioning and delete all existing partitions. Create a new partition to install into. 6) Complete installation steps for a minimal system; DO install grub so the mbr gets overwritten by grub. |
You make reference in your initial post to 17.1 on your laptops. Is that Linux Mint 17.1? In your other post you have an image of the Mint Desktop which clearly shows Mint 15 which has not been supported since January, 2014 so which are you using to try to install?
You also indicate you were trying to install Linux 'side by side'. Side by side with what? Did you originally have windows 8 installed when you tried this? Which installation type option did you select when installing Mint? If windows 8 was installed, was it using UEFI/GPT or MBR? Did u you install Mint with the same option? When you tried the 'shred' command, were you using Mint? It might not be on the iso image but you could easily check with: which shred or whereis shred. You also reference 'CD' which none of the recent versions of Mint will fit on. How are you trying to install/boot, DVD/flash drive or loop mounted iso? It's hard to read (for me anyhow) the image but what you have highlighted looks like the loop mounted iso. |
Yeah, the 930MB loop device in the screenshot has NOTHING to do with any virus. It's just the read-only squashfs file system from the Mint LiveCD currently booted. There's no way to erase that partition, obviously, because it's only a read only medium (the CD or DVD). It is mounted on /rofs.
If there's any virus to look for, it's not on /rofs or the squashfs loop device. Those are just normal components of the Mint LiveCD when you boot up from the CD/DVD. It would be the 100GB hard disc or the 4.1GB USB disk. |
the op is hard to follow.
what makes you think you have a virus (what unexpected behaviour is the pc demonstrating) ? what os has the virus (linux-mint or windows) ? at this point do you want to delete everything on the hd (then i would boot up something like gparted live-usb and run gparted as root (sudo gparted) and highlight the disk and partitions i want erased) ? |
After typing my response, workspace 2 opened up next to workspace to and all that was on the screen i.e, the terminal readouts, the open LQ. I did not open that window. The 100- I have no idea what that is- I don't have a sdc slot even. The 4.1 was me. I plugged it into the back usb: Why? I was copying the files that I could from The rofs.
Code:
d54@d5 ~ $ sudo bash |
Are you sure it is even mounted?
Code:
mount |
There is nothing to be concerned about with /rofs or /dev/loop0. These are normal components of the Linux Mint LiveCD that you can't get rid of.
Everything in the logs pasted above look like it is operating normally. It's simply a matter of the user not knowing or understanding what commands to type in. The first several commands fail because the user is not logged in as root. In order to log in as root in Mint, you can use the command "sudo su". Or you can simply not log in as root and put "sudo" before any command that must be run as root. But root or not, there's nothing you can do to get rid of the liveCD squashfs mount. Don't worry about it and move along. I do not think there is any virus involved at all, at least not on the linux side. |
Isaac Kug: Thanks for the info on the loop and rofs- As for doing the sata- I don't think I can do that. I've already made a mess trying to figure out how to do that.
Yancek: Yes, I put dvds not cds (soory). I threw 15 in another machine, I was afraid to lose everything I had on this one. I do not have windows on any machines the 2 that came with windows pre installed I wiped prior to ever using them. The only one I ever used windows was on the original HP. They all are Linux. I am confusing myself here.I have over the course of trying to install a good distro, used unetbootin to make a bootable usb. I couldn't contact the modemmanager at Freedesk.org. I was denied permission on changing some items. I used bleach bit and received that 660 files could not be accessed. Trying to install software from the terminal came up with command not found that I just had used the day before. The list goes on. Here is a portion of the log about the wifi going as wired: 25.457653] pcmcia_socket pcmcia_socket0: cs: IO port probe 0xa00-0xaff: [ 25.458767] clean.

Schneldz: I don't want anything on them. I went to G parted and could not delete the partitions. I do have the copied files tho. I have them on the usb. Where they were locked I just compressed them and moved the tars. If you have drop box I can send them? All I really want to do is wipe every hdd. That's it. I followed the shred commands from a link to this forum. I know I sound paranoid. Maybe I am. I will retry to do the entire dban install again on another machine and record every step that is odd. I think that will be less confusing? Thanks for all your help- I will report back what happens with documentation. |

if i had a need to erase all data on a hard drive, i would boot up a live distro with gparted on it (i like fedora 24 live-usb). then i would run: Code:
sudo gpartedall this mite be moot since there probably isnt a virus. |
