Re: Urgent ! denial of Service Attack

[Matt Fahrner]

One thing I can't find a good document on is *how* these denial of
service programs (the binaries) got onto the Linux boxes in the first
place. Were they installed through the "rpc.statd" hole? Is it IRC
buffer overflow issue (it doesn't sound like it)? How did the trojan
horses get onto the systems? The docs I find concentrate on finding the
trojan itself but not closing the hole(s) that allowed the trojan in in
the first place (which is frankly more my concern).

Anyone feel like filling me in?

Thanks in advance if you know...
