Re: Strange Behaviour !

Despite all the debate, This is for sure that the system is being
comrpomised by some sort of rootkit, but this is not the point here to prove
that the system is compromised with a rootkit or not. What I am trying to do
is that to see and gather the information about the binaries replaced on the
system and try to avoind all such things in the future.

This might be helpfull for maybe others in case the same guy tries to
./h4x0r some other box. rpc.statd and linuxconf web access is stopped as the
init scripts.

I see a file in /dev/data/scaner with attrivutes, crwx--x--x This c
attribute makes is suspicious. This is not a regular /dev entry and it is
also 0 byte file. So can't view it or see it with strings. The rest of the
thing is that I get a new copy of all the netstat, lsof and other similar
tools and get a close look of the binaries. The purpose of posting this here
was just to save time from examining all the files.

Thats all  ..
