Unless you have tripwire or some other signature records of the binaries and all conf's for the system, you are best off to wipe and reinstall this system from scratch. Even if you *do* have tripwire and md5 hashes of all files on the system, you most likely will find it quicker yo wipe and reinstall the system from scratch. With the added step in all reinstall cases of this type, to patch the holes that allowed toe comepromise to take place *prior* in reconnecting tot eh dangerous env from whence it was compromised.

Can anyone reccomend some links or useful information for removing the "ShKit Rootkit". CHKROOTKIT detected this thing on a RedHat 8.0 server owned by a client of mine. "Searching for ShKit rootkit default files and dirs... Possible ShKit rootkit installed" <== chkrootkit output I have only read limited information on this rootkit from a honeypot report where it was used, no cleaning information. Ive googled a bunch of times, dont go out of your way to answer this, the box will be redone anyway. Im just curious to find out what this rootkit is about, not even packetstorm has a copy to look at :) Thanks, ChrisR- http://www.cr-secure.net _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
