can someone tell me what this word means, please? i'm seeing as an apparent new variant of the MIRAI IOT crotter...

uchilaissanitch

all google translate can tell me is "russian detected" but nothing else... the word is simply repeated as typed but with the last 'i' changed to a 'y'...

s/crotter/critter/ critter == animal, pest, insect, bug

IOT == Internet Of Things (eg: ipcams, dvrs, teapots, fridges, routers, smartTVs)

MIRAI == Mirai (Japanese for "the future") is malware that turns computer systems running Linux into remotely controlled "bots", that can be used as part of a botnet in large-scale network attacks.

there is no context other than it appearing at the end of a busybox command line that a MIRAI variant was emitting in their attempted infestations of my systems...

If it is a Russian word or phrase, it is distorted
beyond recognition.

MIRAI is an internet worm that lurks around looking for low-security cable modems to prey on. It has been attacking several online BBSs, and usually

it logs on with specific strings, like that one.
