Hey all, this is my scenario. I was logged in to my home box, running a modified version of Mandrake 7.0 when i noticed a friend on my box but coming from a box in japan. That sparked some interest, so i checked the last logins, and noticed that someone from a few more places had logged in as him as well.. Here's a paste of some of the information and ip's where he came from: 210.105.178.10 ns.nek.co.jp modemcable056.1-201-24.sherb.mc.videotron.net mail.almustaqbal.com.lb cr215768-a.hnsn1.on.wave.home.com <-- used three times www2.swan.me.ynu.ac.jp What i also noticed, is that he had two BitchX clients running, with one connecting to port 1080 to cafemartin.com, but having it say: Jun 6 17:24:14 localhost named[1002]: Lame server on 'cafemartin.com' (in 'cafemartin.com'?): [216.173.223.2].53 'SHIT-HAPPENS-AT.L7.NET' I'm also logging identd messages, and have noticed root being resolved. Jun 6 08:20:36 localhost oidentd[18927]: Connection from 216.22.10.10:3806 Jun 6 08:20:36 localhost oidentd[18927]: [216.22.10.10] Successful lookup: 1235 , 6667 : root (root) And no, i don't run irc as root. :) In the logs, i've also found this, which i think is a bit unusual: Jun 6 13:58:42 localhost named[1002]: bad iquery from 127.0.0.1 Jun 6 13:59:30 localhost last message repeated 2 times Jun 6 13:59:59 localhost named[1002]: bad iquery from 127.0.0.1 Well anyways, i took a look in his homedir, and found three files. One executable "a.out", which displays "Jumping to address bfffe6c4 BufSize 4480" when running, a file named s.c, which contains what i believe to be the source of the "a.out" executable, and finally a file named x.pl. Looking at the processes that he had run, one was a ./gn command, which i could never locate, /bin/sh, bash, and those two BitchX sessions. What i did was first going in and disabling his and all accounts but my own on the box, closed telnet, because that's all he was using to come in, changed the root password, and in one press of the enter key, killed every process related to him on the box. Can anyone give me more information or has anyone dealt with this guy before? Thanks, Nick Morgowicz
