Re: watching them -after the fact

so they couldn't do much ???

tftp, cc, perl, python, other compliers are all threats.
tftp can allow downloading of gcc or other compiliers. scp (secure copy) can
also allow this. Never assume something can't be done. If the OS is linux
for example they could open an editor and paste compiled code from another
system and perhaps get that working.

they also created an empty dir:  "/dev/ /"
        ( yes... a space as its filename )

cat /etc/passwd
        ...
