Yesterday a file that should not exist appeared in my Downloads folder.



Virustotal knows the file since 2012 and reports it as clean - but it seems other people have had it appear.



Does anyone know more? Anyone else seen this? I assume it's harmless and caused by a bug, but maybe not?

Did not run compile jobs at that time.



Ubuntu 12.04.04 LTS 64bit.



File appeared while downloading packages from sourceforge with Firefox.



Bears same timestamp as one of the downloads.



Computer is connected to internet via router w/ firewall.







  • I am certain the file is not of my own creation.

  • Browser does not show any downloads apart from the ones I initiated.

  • No site likely to infect visited at that point in time - unless Nixnote's sourceforge page got hacked.

  • stat reveals nothing of note, no Birth date set.

If you run the command ld -lrt, ld creates a file "a.out" with the same hash.



You probably created this file with a wrongly typed ls -lrt command.
