#7 Re: Question: Has My Box Been compromised? Posted by ajt (82.133.xx.xx) on Wed 20 Jul 2005 at 20:20 Packages are always kept upto date, I check daily. What probably happened was my better half complained about the noise the PC was making. I logged in via SSH and decided to restart some of the demons in case one had got stuck - the box was busy (rejecting SSH logins apparently). One of the standard demons does give a false positive I know that, so it was probably just a fluke. I downloaded a current INSERT livedisk and ran chkrootkit and rootkit hunter on the suspect mnachine from a clean boot and everything is peachy. I'm just paranoid, I'm not yet confident enough a sysadmin to be comfortable, but I know too much to be naively confident... -- "It's Not Magic, It's Work" Adam
