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
Tar specific file types / extensions
find . -name ‘*.abc’ | pax -wdx ustar | gzip > Files.tgz

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!

MySQL + REPLACE DATA IN FIELDS
Quick and dirty SQL:
UPDATE TABLE SET FIELD = REPLACE(FIELD, ‘OLD’, ‘NEW’);
Recompile all Apache 1.3 DSO modules
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.

Most yum repos are out of date, many choose to run outdated software for fear of change, etc.
