    Could be quite a few different things.

    Could be the kernel itself, gnupg, openSSH or even bash.

    But we won’t know for sure, until it’s publically disclosed.

      Could be the kernel itself

      Wouldn’t make sense to me because the thread says GNU/Linux and others, though this could relate to Android or distros not using any GNU.

      gnupg

      Usually not exposed to the network though, but it’s generally a mess so wouldn’t be too surprising

      Another candidate I have in mind is ntpd, but again that is usually not easily accessible from outside and not used everywhere, as stuff like systemd-timesyncd exists.

      Just want to stress that I’m not sure about it being OpenSSH, it was more supposed to be a fun guess than a certain prediction
