Hello there
i hope this information has not alreay been posted, if so please excuse me.

I do hacking in my free time, not to damage people but just to have fun.

2 days ago i rooted a adsl linux box and found it already rooted. netstat
showed me a connection to a undernet server. The program making the
connection was being called "-bash". The dir of it in /proc showed me that
the binary of it was /etc/rc.d/init.d/echoserv (note, a binary, not a init
script).
stringing the file showed me some interesting things.


This looks like confirmation messages (note that sending "PRIVMSG bla
:blabla bla bla" to an irc server makes you sending a message to bla)
[..]
PRIVMSG %s :(entitee) udpflood started.
%d.%d.%d.%d
PRIVMSG %s :(entitee) udpflood completed. %d packets/sec
PRIVMSG %s :(entitee) fragmentflood started.
PRIVMSG %s :(entitee) fragmentflood completed. %d packets/sec
PRIVMSG %s :(entitee) synflood started.
PRIVMSG %s :(entitee) synflood completed. %d packets/sec
PRIVMSG %s :(entitee) rstflood started.
PRIVMSG %s :(entitee) rstflood completed. %d packets/sec
PRIVMSG %s :(entitee) randomflagsflood started.
PRIVMSG %s :(entitee) randomflagsflood completed. %d packets/sec
PRIVMSG %s :(entitee) ackflood started.
PRIVMSG %s :(entitee) ackflood completed. %d packets/sec
PRIVMSG %s :(entitee) establishflood started.
PRIVMSG %s :(entitee) establishflood completed. %d packets/sec
PRIVMSG %s :(entitee) nullflood started.
PRIVMSG %s :(entitee) nullflood completed. %d packets/sec
[...]

These are some undernet servers i found hardcoded:
[...]
204.127.145.17
216.24.134.10
208.51.158.10
199.170.91.114
207.173.16.33
207.96.122.250
205.252.46.98
216.225.7.155
205.188.149.3
207.69.200.131
207.114.4.35
[...]

And here are basic irc protocoll commands:
[...]
USER %s %s %s :%s
NICK %s
ERROR
PING
PONG %s
MODE %s +i
JOIN %s %s
MODE %s +sk %s
PRIVMSG
[...]

There were more strings but they are not that interesting.

What i did then was using ngrep to sniff the traffic going to and from the
irc server. The bot connects to the irc server, joins a channel with a key
and after having joined it sets the key again. Then it just idles around.

The other users on the channel the bot joined seem to be dos bots too, they
nearly all come from a major US internet provider and have the same username
and nickname scheme

I would like it if someone can say me what i should do now or just send me
or this list more informations about this program.
