Ryan, Forgive me for not offering much technical assistance, but... The single best thing that you can do is unplug the network connection leading to that box. Then, if you must know what has happened, make a full backup of the box and begin your forensic analysis. To knowingly allow an unauthorized user to attack another network using one of your hosts is quite irresponsible. Good day, Keith -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Hairyes [mailto:rhairyesat_private] Sent: Saturday, February 02, 2002 2:41 PM To: incidentsat_private Subject: Help please Hello all. I am having some trouble and would like to know if someone can help me out. Right now my mailserver (RedHat 7.2) is being used by unwanted guest to attack adult sites via port 80 (Apache 1.3.20). When I run a netstat -an on my system I can "see" them connected to my machine. I have snort and have run that as well and sure enough they are there. It seems as though they are using my apache to do brute force password cracking on these adult sites. Thanks in advance.
