    RT-AX88U maxing out a core and regularly showing 60+ MB/s upload

    Since I disabled AiCloud, changed my DDNS registry, and rebooted my router I have not seen the issue again. It's only been 24 hours or so though. I also disconnected the HDD that I had attached and gave it a deep scan with Avira and Malwarebytes. No detections. I'm guessing that the malware...

    No SSD here. Spinning rust attached to mine.

    RT-AX88U maxing out a core and regularly showing 60+ MB/s upload

    Good that they changed it. Ever since I've been using ASUS routers that feature was enabled when I first set them up. EDIT: See my previous(above) post

    BIG issue with ASUS routers killing network with upload flood

    They were enabled by default and I have disabled them while troubleshooting. Didn't matter much to me as I had never actually used them. We have found that this issue is quite widespread at this point and due to malware. EDIT: I don't know how it was enabled since I don't remember doing it...

    BIG issue with ASUS routers killing network with upload flood

    It's not solved until ASUS patches the hole allowing reinfection. I've been posting in that thread as well.

    RT-AX88U maxing out a core and regularly showing 60+ MB/s upload

    This is from June and I was already running that firmware.

    RT-AX88U maxing out a core and regularly showing 60+ MB/s upload

    I'm running stock ASUS firmware, not Merlin. Yes, it's enabled by default. EDIT: I don't know how it was enabled since I don't remember doing it myself. I've only ever seen it enabled on this router and the last 2 ASUS routers I've had during the previous 12+ years. Everyone else seems to not...

    RT-AX88U maxing out a core and regularly showing 60+ MB/s upload

    My "System" page does not have that option. Running stock firmware, not merlin if that helps.

    RT-AX88U maxing out a core and regularly showing 60+ MB/s upload

    I did this and nothing was returned. Simply moved to the next line with another prompt.

    RT-AX88U maxing out a core and regularly showing 60+ MB/s upload

    No problem. I wasn't using AiCloud, but I just disabled it as well as AiProtection. SSH or anything else was not forwarded all along.

    RT-AX88U maxing out a core and regularly showing 60+ MB/s upload

    I can vouch for Mikrotik. We use them for all of our clients in my day job. A bit of a learning curve to get comfortable with the RouterOS(Mikrotik) though.

    RT-AX88U maxing out a core and regularly showing 60+ MB/s upload

    It hasn't happened again since about 10AM today. I found a strange entry in the log file though. Any idea what "Tainted" means in this context? Also, first time I've seen "sshd" in the log file as well.

    Hi Jon, Good to hear! How long have you gone without the issue reoccurring?

    The output was too long for the post. I have attached the output in a text file.

    RT-AX88U maxing out a core and regularly showing 60+ MB/s upload

    Hi all. I just registered on this forum to chime in with my experiences. I also have an RT-AX88U experiencing the same problem. After digging online and in this thread specifically I have observed that the offending process is listed as {sshd} when I login and run the "top" command. While the...
