Wau Holland mentioned Lance Spitzner's articel "Know Your Enemy -
The attack of the Script Kiddie" in news:de.comp.security
Message-ID:
Spitzner's papers are well worth reading and can be found at
http://www.enteract.com/~lspitz/enemy.html. They are up-to-date and
provide links to exploits, log demons, recovery sites, you name it. One
article also describes how he is being root compromised.
Here a short description: "This article, the first of a three part
series, does just that, it discusses the tools and methodology used by
one of the most common and universal threats, the Script Kiddie. The
second paper focuses on how you can detect these attempts, identify what
tools they are using and what vulnerabilities they are looking for.
The third paper focuses on what happens once they gain root.
Specifically, how they cover their tracks and what they do next."
I admit the information is not SuSE Linux specific but will be
interesting reading for most of us.
