Subject: clean binaries


Hello all...

What is the best way to make a disk full of clean binaries so that should
a machine be compromised you can use system binaries that you know are
clean as opposed to using the ones on the system that may be
compromised. Basically I am looking for the best way to get a CD full of
binaries such as ifconfig, ps, login, and so on... the systems are already
in production so I would prefer getting them from somewhere else because I
don't want to assume that these systems are completely clean.

Is it best to get these from the installation media that was used to
install all of the systems?

any help would be appreciated!

thanks

shawn
