I've been cracked! (hamm, 2.0.35)
Somebody (through jhb60.jaring.my) wandered into my system, set up a user
account for themselves and set up a couple of programs, eggdrop and smurf.
I've not been using encrypted passwords, I understand that there are ways
to derive the "salt" that the passwd file uses?
Anyway, this person hid a few files in some interesting places and even
replaced my syslogd. Now, when I say "hid a few files", there are files
that simply don't show up by ls. You can manipulate them but you can't
see them unless you ls the entire path. For example,
$ ls /usr/lib/fms
returns
/usr/lib/fms
but
$ cd /usr/lib;ls fms
returns nothing.
I have no idea how many files or directories might be hidden this way, nor
how I can find out. I've obviously changed passwords and disabled
everything "foreign" that I can find, any suggestions as to what I should
be doing about this?
Any help appreciated.
