Ok. In efforts to find out what went on here, I have taken down some of the security features recently implemented and restarted tcpdump with tcpdump -nvv -s 1500 -w 'port 20 or 21' > /var/log/ftpdump & I have copied this to the people who have asked for more information. I'd rather deal with a few individuals directly than splatter this all over the list. As soon as I have another incident I will post the dump results Thanks -----Original Message----- From: OTERO Hernan Gustavo EDS [mailto:bazhgoat_private] Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2002 7:04 AM To: 'aaronat_private' Subject: wu-ftpd attack ??? Could you sendme the tcpdump ( and the command that you run to make the dump ie, tcpdump -nvv -s 1500 -w blablabla or any other )?
