This ELF is not your buddy

The volume of Linux malware is orders of magnitude less than for other operating systems, and as such, has fewer eyeballs researching it. Analysts don't want to spend thousands of hours building detection systems for threats that they will never see. However, for an enterprising hunter, this lack of prevalence can work in your favor --- if your enterprise only sees one or two ELF email attachments per year, you can afford to give each a quick eyeball.
