Linux/Rst-B will attempt to infect all ELF executables in the current
working directory and the directory /bin .
If the virus is executed by a privileged user then it may attempt to
create a backdoor on the system. This is achieved by opening a socket
and listening for a particular packet containing details about the
origin of the attacker and the command the attacker would like to
execute on the system.
