    Hello,
    
    All-in-all you did a good job. One thing that stands out is this:
    >[root@Rah .sys]# ./cleaner
    >* sauber by socked [07.27.97]
    >* Usage: cleaner <string>
    You should never run any un-trusted programs. The command "strings" is the 
    right tool for the job. 
    
    You should also try to get trusted binaries of system programs (e.g. ls, 
    ps, netstat, lsof, etc.) and put them onto separate media like a clean 
    floppy or a CD-R. You can get them off of your distro CD.
    
    Integrity checkers like Tripwire or AIDE (available at 
    http://www.cs.tut.fi/~rammer/aide.html).
    
    Finally, you might want to get a decent book on forensics like "Incident 
    Response" by Chris Prosise, Kevin Mandia; which covers technical and legal 
    aspects.
    
    Good Luck,
    Alaric
