It's possible the CGI that was compromised is distributed under a different
name than the one you found. What form element names get passed to it, and
more importantly, what is the CGI supposed to do? These two bits of
information will probably identify it fairly quickly.

Yeah often times people will rename there scripts so people who like
to use search engines to hack sites with don't find there script. You
also must keep in mind alot of people name a script the same thing. There
are quite a few whois.cgi's all written by different authors which you must
also keep in mind. I'm also assuming you've found a hole in this so why not
(if this is the case) try asking for the scripts own sourcecode. That usually
stores vendor info.
