Thanks to all. By the way, searching the Internet (by Google) looking for rootkit that was used on my machine, I found this site
which is full of useful material for hackers. Can we do something about it?
However, whether you can/should do is another question. They are not necessarily the people actually cracking your machine, and the issues of "free speech" may come in to play here. A lot of the parts of Linux could be used as cracking tools; should all Linux download sites be taken offline?
There was a good article on that site about rootkits: http://www.hackemate.com.ar/textos/papers/BUANZO-Detecting_and_Understanding... That the original poster might benefit from, if inclined to utilize the site returned from google as being pertinent. In the security community in general, there is a general reliance on an open security model, as opposed to "security through obscurity". I don't think it is healthy to take down the sites you can so easily find (like this one) -- they aren't the problem; there's a million sites out there you can't find so easily. --r dorothy@oz:~> ls scarecrow tinman lion dorothy@oz:~> find . -name home There's no place like home.
