There is no t0rn rootkit involved and the root shell is on  1008 so their
Lionfind may be misleading.

Of course, they could be half a dozen variants on the loose by this stage.

The packet I posted where it opens up the root shell on 1008 is just one
part of the worm. The rest of it is in crew.tgz (the t0rnkit is in there
among other things). So the SANS GIAC analysis is valid for crew.tgz
(the http://coollion.51.net/crew.tgz version).
FYI I just installed this version on an offline machine, and Lionfind found it.
