System activity check

 ,sudo apt update && sudo apt install clamav -y

sudo freshclam # Update virus database

sudo clamscan -r /home/ # Scan home directory

It looks like you might be asking about "threats" in Linux. If you're looking for ways to check for security threats or malware on a Linux system, here are some methods:


1. Check Running Processes


Use the following commands to check for unusual processes:


ps aux --sort=-%cpu | head -20 # Check top CPU-consuming processes

ps aux --sort=-%mem | head -20 # Check top memory-consuming processes


2. Check Open Network Connections


See active network connections and detect suspicious activity:


netstat -tulnp

ss -tulnp

lsof -i


3. Check System Logs


Look for unusual logs in system files:


journalctl -xe

dmesg | less

cat /var/log/syslog | less


4. Use ClamAV for Malware Scanning


ClamAV is an open-source antivirus for Linux:


sudo apt update && sudo apt install clamav -y

sudo freshclam # Update virus database

sudo clamscan -r /home/ # Scan home directory


5. Use rkhunter for Rootkit Detection


Rootkit Hunter can detect hidden threats:


sudo apt install rkhunter -y

sudo rkhunter --update

sudo rkhunter --checkall


6. Check for Unauthorized Users or SSH Logins


who

last -a

cat /var/log/auth.log | grep "Failed password"


If you want to check for threats on a Linux machine remotely (online access PC), you can follow these steps:


1. Access the Remote System


Use SSH (Secure Shell) to log into the remote Linux machine:


ssh username@remote_ip_address


Replace username with the actual username and remote_ip_address with the IP of the system.


2. Check for Suspicious Processes


Once logged in, use these commands:


ps aux --sort=-%cpu | head -20 # Check top CPU-consuming processes

ps aux --sort=-%mem | head -20 # Check top memory-consuming processes


3. Scan for Malware (ClamAV)


If ClamAV is installed on the remote system, run:


sudo clamscan -r /home/


4. Check Active Network Connections


Look for suspicious network activity:


netstat -tulnp

ss -tulnp

lsof -i


5. Analyze System Logs for Intrusions


journalctl -xe # Check system logs

cat /var/log/auth.log | grep "Failed password" # Check failed login attempts


6. Use Rootkit Detection Tools


If rkhunter is installed, scan for rootkits:


sudo rkhunter --checkall


7. Use Online Security Tools (If Remote GUI Access Available)


If you have GUI access (e.g., via TeamViewer, AnyDesk, or RDP), you can use:


VirusTotal (upload suspicious files for scanning)


Malwarebytes for Linux (if installed)


Chkrootkit (another rootkit scanner)
