illogic rootkit

Hi all.

I found a rootkit named "illogic" on a recently compromised Redhat 7.2
Honeypot. Searches on google and altavista revealed nothing, but a search on
google groups relvealed 1 news article which originated from russia.

Anyone seen this before?

It appears the attacker left a copy of the illogic.tgz file intact on my
honeypot. Last night I did some quick forensics, and discovered the
following things about this rootkit:

 * Contains the Adore rootkit
 * Contains many trojaned binaries (sshd, syslog, etc)
 * Contains several ./massrooting tools (ssh, lpd, wuftpd)
 * Contains DDoS tools
 * And much more.

This is all in 1 package, about a megabyte in size.

From my tcpdump logs i also traced the FTP server from which this was
downloaded. I also obtained the attackers username/password for the
aforementioned FTP site.

I will publish the rootkit on my personal web site sometime later today.
