that... sounds like a comp.

it's literally "CRED-TCA-RDNU-MBER"? as in "CREDIT CARD NUMBER"? or it's
some sort of random UUID?


i'd recommend grabbing the PID of such a process, then checking out the
following files ("files") in /proc/<PID>/:

ls -l exe
ls -l cwd
ls -l fd
ls -l map_files
cat maps
xxd cmdline
xxd environ

you can find children procs in task/ (even if they don't show up anymore
in ps).

that should give you a good place to start in at least figuring out
what's going on.
