Intrusion, WuFTP exploit?

[dknaack () RDTECH COM (David Knaack)]

Early morning, July 5th a box was attacked and the (apparently
really pathetic and stupid) hacker gained root access to the
system.

Access was obtained with what appears to have been slam.sh,
a PAM exploit.

Two accounts are created, x (uid=0) and donx.

The kiddie logs in and apparently FTP's some files down:

Jul  5 03:57:53 genesis identd[2794]: Connection from rdu25-11-016.nc.rr.com
Jul  5 03:57:57 genesis named[410]: Lame server on
'16.11.25.24.in-addr.arpa' (in '11.25.24.in-addr.arpa'?): [24.128.1.80].53
'NS1.MEDIAONE.NET'
Jul  5 03:57:57 genesis identd[2794]: from: 24.25.11.16
 rdu25-11-016.nc.rr.com ) for: 1084, 21
Jul  5 03:58:30 genesis PAM_pwdb[2797]: (su) session opened for user x by
donx(uid=508)

'don' kindly left his .bash_history intact.  He ran a program
called 'zip' (IIRC) with parameters 'don' and 'hell.com'.
I'm not sure what the app does, but if he left it lying
around I plan on checking.

It is amusing to note that 'don' has made repeated attempts
to telnet into the box, from the same ip from which he rooted
the box (208.191.202.76)!
