To make a long story short, I woke up yesterday to find this in my home directory : ./MeMe156/agent.agency.08.14.02.2348/added .agent.sol after looking through ; /var/adm/messages /var/adm/syslog to no avail, I used what I thought to be a clever script that logs auth.notice messages. NOTHING /var/log/utmp; /var/log/utmpx /var/log/wtmp; /var/log/wtmpx /var/log/syslog nothing. But then /var/log/sulog showed me this; SU 03/31 12:52 + pts/0 <userid>-root and /var/adm/messages revealed this Mar 31 12:48:41 ***.***.***.*** unix: rebooting... almost convenient that it was there at all. If anyone else has any information remotely related please respond. I administer a private lab running 2 Sun LX50's involved in active Ionospheric research and HF analysis.
[snip] Sure, more than an idle threat to you, but only because you waited too long to mitigate or prevent the usability or an exploit on your systems, or you didn't prevent remote/networked access prior to now. What's new about this? What's especially scary? Nothing. These kids are full of piss and wind. Increasing age prevents an inexhaustible supply of them. Humor them. It's funny to watch them rant about the coming apocalypse of blackhat justice.
