Speaking of such compromises, here's an interesting article on another example of one: http://www.mynetwatchman.com/kb/security/articles/winforensics/index.htm Sorry, might be slightly O/T, but it is interesting.

FTP banners typically have multiple "220-" lines, and the final banner line is a "220 " (the "-" is used to say "more lines are coming.") Even without knowing this signature of the FTP protocol, the banner messages suggest a multi-user server ("leechers logged in") which is used for data transfer ("kb leeched" and "kb filled"). - Steve P.S. To oversimplify, this is the sort of protocol-level knowledge that might be expected of people with lower-level GIAC certifications rather than broad-based CISSP certifications. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus ARIS analyzer service.
