    Hi folks,
    
    One of my users is running WinME at home.  He reported that he thought his
    home machine had been hacked.
    
    Running a portscan on the machine turned up the following:
    
    10.0.0.23           unknown            135/tcp unassigned
    10.0.0.23           netbios-ssn        139/tcp # NETBIOS session server
    10.0.0.23	    unknown	       4343/tcp unassigned
    
    Attempting to telnet to port 4343 on this machine, I found what appeared
    to be a small webserver.
    
    Here are some samples:
    
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    
    GET / HTTP/1.0
    
    HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
    
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    
    iojgoijtgoij
    
    HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
    
    ----------------------------------------------------------
    
    GET / HTTP/1.0
    Connection: Keep-Alive
    User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14-5.0smp i686)
    Host: 10.0.0.23:4343
    Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, image/png, */*
    Accept-Encoding: gzip
    Accept-Language: en
    Accept-Charset: iso-8859-1
    
    HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
    
    ... and so on.  Not very revealing.
    
    I attempted to run inzider (http://www.ntsecurity.nu) on the machine to
    find out what was hooked up to this port (expecting a copy of Back Orifice
    or similar).  While I don't have the dump from inzider, there was no
    process attached to the server.
    
    Does this sound familiar to anyone?  I have reason to believe it's a
    stealth backdoor of some sort, but I don't have much information to go on.
    
    Thanks in advance.
