17:36.06kjsInteresting, a box I ordered from bytemark on friday got rooted on saturday, within 24 hours of it going live.
17:36.15kjsCentOS 5 fully updated.
17:37.51kjsI didn't have SSH locked down there were a lot of brute forced attempts on the root account, however the password I set was decent it was alpha numeric. none dictionary word.
17:38.21kjsIt could of been better don't get me wrong, but I am not convinced he managed to brute it.
17:39.22ChoHagYou should have installed $fanboy_distribution instead. Clearly you suck.
17:41.07kjsHaha, yeah that would of solved it.
17:41.31kjsThe box was totally isolated, and nothing was configured.
17:41.44kjsapart from an unfinished chrooted bind install.
17:42.09kjsalso some crap bytemark left on, http, smtp, mysql.
17:42.52kjsany way, the hacker didnt remove the bash_history, lol he was also using nano as his text editor.
17:43.30kjsI have found his IRC channel he uses to control his bots.
17:50.11ChoHagAre there organisations to whom that can be handed over?
17:50.57ChoHagSort of like you'd point a crime scene out to the police, except that in this case the police would be utterly clueless.
18:19.49z00daxits more likely someone else is reading your emails, or the passwd portal on the hosters site got compromised
18:20.45z00daxthe default centos install has everything except ssh firewall'd off, and iirc, bytemark do a 'yum update' post install anyway
18:21.19z00daxkjs: have you spoken with bytemark as yet ?
18:22.30z00daxin other news, we've had 14"+ of snow since 5am today

19:22.20ChoHagA fried and his wife have had a baby and called it Quincy.
19:48.37morsingI'd have called it Mincy
20:13.45ChoHagThey might as well have done.
20:13.47ChoHagPoor kid.
20:40.12ArmandJust name the kid "Bully-bait" FFS..
