GoBruteforcer is a Golang-written botnet that brute-forces phpMyAdmin, MySQL, FTP, and PostgreSQL services using hard-coded credentials; successful compromises deploy IRC bots on phpMyAdmin or PHP web shells on other services, the malware contacts a command-and-control server for instructions, and it uses CIDR-wide scanning to discover and target additional hosts.
