During installation, obfuscated code validates the environment against typical sandboxing signs and attempts to download the next stages from remote sources. The remote stage is a comprehensive infostealer collecting credentials from files and process memory, especially SSH keys, and covering tracks to make the forensic analysis more difficult. Naming suggests relation with a toolkit called "Aether"
