This entry is interesting due to the fact that it's the sharehub for the bots, this means
it was setup first, and all the bots were instructed to automatically connect to it and download
userfiles, it's also listening on a different port, and probably was not a hacked account.

This person is an "owner" (the mn in hjmnoptx mean 'master' and 'owner') and is actually on IRC:

uiu cf_ cf@pain.killer
uiu  ircname  : Illich Ramirez Sanchez
uiu  channels : @#0dayxxxpasswords
uiu  server   : efnet.vuurwerk.nl [Riders on the Storm]
uiu End of WHOIS

pain.killer is obviously not a valid hostname, which means the server they're using
fakes it for them, or they're cache poisoning. The person when spoken to was acting
rather clueless.

I wasn't able to find this person, although the host is probably one of the affected sites.

It's amazing how law enforcement sits around doing nothing while these people
trade usernames/passwords, leaving such incriminating evidence in userfiles.


On another note, I'd like to ask that in any informational releases such as this one
that people make it clear than Eggdrop is not a DoS tool, a hacker tool, or anything
else malicious, it's being misused just like 'nc' or perl are misused for a lot of exploits,
anyone needing help gathering information from Eggdrop's running on compromised accounts
(including ones using encrypted userfiles/config files/etc) should feel free to contact me,
i've been very successful in accessing the bots and shutting down quite a few botnets spawned
from things like this.



                                Thanks,
