It's one of those things... I don't NEED anonymous ftp but I left it on
anyway. Either way, I had noticed last week that I had a few anonymous ftp
connections which raised my suspicions but I didn't see anything else that
alarmed me. But after getting back from a trip, I took a peek at my logs and
found some bad things. Promiscuous eth0, garbage data in the logs, syslogd
restarts etc... No big deal for me at this point. This was a test server I
use and was planning on killing this weekend anyway. My questions are these:
1. How does one go about hacking a machine via ftp? I mean, it would be nice
to understand HOW it is done in order to prevent it.
2. Besides turning off anon. ftp, what else should I secure (ftp wise)
3. As a case study, how can I tell what he/she did exactly (I guess a part
of question 1)
Thanx,
Spunk
