Probably have run the ptrace exploit, got root and installed rootkit. You *must* have given shell access to your users and one of them did it :-) Don't rely on just removing the files but get a fresh install of the OS as this would be the best resort for you. Would it be possible for you to zip the files from the malicious directory and send it over to me for analysis? -Naseer ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jairo Tcatchenco" <jairo () adaesp sp gov br> To: <security-basics () securityfocus com> Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 10:08 PM Subject: ptrace24 - How It apeared in my box?
Hello all! Using chkrootkit tool, I found a root kit inside my box. A door was opened and I haven't found yet how they putted it there (there is a folder in tmp, called ..\ \ \ with a lot of malicious files). I left just the basic doors opened (ntp, domain, ssh, http, https). Could someone explain how they putted it there? Thanks.
