How to clean a Hacked CentOS / LINUX Machine

yum install chkrootkit

Run chkrootkit to find INFECTED files

You will need to delete, manually, each of these files.

The permissions will be modified to stump the average user.

You will need to use: chattr

This command will free most files: chattr -suSadAc

For the ones that can not be deleted after the above, try: chattr -i

Files commonly targeted: top ps find netstat ifconfig

Once the files are deleted, reinstall the files using YUM:

yum reinstall procps openssh-server openssl psmisc findutils fileutils util-linux net-tools textutils sysklogd

Additional things:

1. sshd will be renamed to sshd0 in /usr/sbin/
2. the hacker has most likely added an entry to the bottom of: /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
———
# Xntps (NTPv3 daemon) startup..
/usr/sbin/xntps -q
———

Remove it: chattr -suSadAc xntps ; rm -f xntps

3. Re-run chkrootkit until the machine is clean

MASONITE FIBERGLASS DOORS SUCK

DO NOT EVEN THINK OF BUYING THESE CRAP DOORS.

I had 8′ Double doors installed on a new construction home.

Within 3 months the ACTIVE door warped. Literally folded inwards 2 inches.

The door was replaced 6 months later… Masonite did not honor the warranty! Contractor ate it.

Over the following year: all of the insert window moldings cracked or warped, the glass inserts had seal issues, T astrigal separated from inactive door, and the active door warped again.

Masonite’s response? “Well we will reimburse you $430 for the warped inactive door”. No coverage for moldings, seals, T astrigal, etc.

CRAP DOORS – CRAP WARRANTY – CRAP COMPANY!

DO NOT BUY MASONITE FIBERGLASS DOORS

SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY OR DEMAND YOUR CONTRACTOR/BUILDER USE HIGHER QUALITY DOORS.

MASONITE WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR CRAP AND THE DOORS ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT LAST.

UPDATE 1/11/2011 – My pool door, also a Masonite crap Fiberglass door is now warped. Warping to the outside over 1″. The amount of cold air it is letting in is lovely. DO NOT BUY MASONITE DOORS!

Recompile all Apache 1.3 DSO modules

VMware Virtual Machine Hosting

Configure apache 1.3 like this:

./configure \
“–with-layout=Apache” \
“–enable-module=most” \
“–enable-shared=max” \
“–enable-module=so” \
“–enable-shared=ssl” \
“–enable-rule=EAPI” \
“$@”

Leave off SSL + EAPI if you are not using SSL.

This will enable and compile all of the DSO modules and put them in Libexec.

Blackberry + “A” Key + uo

VMware Virtual Machine Hosting

You probably have found this post after searching numerous sites… all with the wrong answer.

1. It is NOT moisture
2. It is NOT “dirty contacts” on the keyboard
3. It is NOT the trackball
4. You do not need to wipe your BlackBerry with JL_Cmder and reinstall the OS.

I did all of the above and none of them resolved the issue.

My trackball was failing for a while and at the same time the “A” key was displaying “uo”.

I replaced my trackball with a cheap unit off of eBay and that did resolve the trackball, but the “A” key (and others) were still hosed.

The end result is that I limped by until my phone was up for an upgrade and I swapped out for a Torch.

I found no resolution the problem. I believe the root issue to be around the trackball, and if you note that on newer models they eliminated the track ball completely.
