Linux.Wifatch is an open-source piece of malware which has been noted for not having been used for malicious actions, instead attempting to secure devices from other malware.[ 2]

Linux.Wifatch operates in a manner similar to a computer security system and updates definitions through its Peer to Peer network and deletes remnants of malware which remain.[ 3]

Linux.Wifatch has been active since at least November 2014.[ 4] According to its authors the idea for Linux.Wifatch came after reading the Carna paper.[ 5] Linux.Wifatch was later released on GitLab by its authors under the GNU General Public License on October 5, 2015.[ 6]
