Dissecting LockBit 5.0 Linux: A Deep Dive into Offline-Capable Ransomware

LockBit 5.0 Linux encrypts files with zero network activity, uses ChaCha20 with Curve25519 key exchanges, and actively evades strace-based monitoring. This post documents the full analysis pipeline: eBPF tracing, static RE with Ghidra, and triple-confirmed network behavior analysis.
