Having your /tmp partition with noexec,nosuid is also considered a good practice.
That's not a bad generic suggestion, but it won't do a thing for this hack. They deposit perl scripts in /tmp/.m and then run them by calling perl, which is not in tmp. This is a very common hack of a poorly written web application. I doubt seriously that the "box" has been hacked - only the webserver is affected - especially based on his description of how he found and got rid of its elements. (IOW, they didn't get root on the box - they only compromised the web application and then ran shells in perl off of that.) -- Paul Schmehl, Senior Infosec Analyst As if it wasn't already obvious, my opinions are my own and not those of my employer. ******************************************* "It is as useless to argue with those who have renounced the use of reason as to administer medication to the dead."
