XZ Backdoor Scanner

Hey everyone,



Just wanted to share a new tool we developed to help identify XZ backdoor vulnerability (CVE-2024-3094).



\- Standalone & Portable: No additional software needed, runs on various Linux systems (written in Go)

\- Two Scanning Modes: Choose between Fast Scan and Full Scan (--system)



Important Notes:

\- Requires root privileges to run effectively.

\- Initial testing on Fedora, Debian, but wider testing is recommended.

\- Identifies vulnerable liblzma versions and searches for the backdoor's malicious code.
