do you have any kind of logs?


The port scanner was running under the tomcat process so I assume the
breakin was done by getting through the Tomcat manager app.

When you say under the tomcat process, what do you mean:
same process id as java org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start ?
or same a child process of the tomcat process, or just the same userid?

At first I feared that I had made a blunder and left the standard tomcat
user as manager, but that wasn't the case. Actually while the UserDatabase
is defined in the setup it isn't used as I use a JNDIReam pointing to
OpenLDAP where only one manager account is defined.

So did they just use brute force, or might there be another way they could
have gotten in?
