[-- Attachment #1 --] Thanks for letting me know. I found this in the my httpd error log: [Fri Jan 14 13:06:06 2005] [error] [client 129.xxx.xxx.xxx] File does not exist: /usr/local/www/data/favicon.ico wget: permission denied ./httpd: not found shellbind.c: In function `main': shellbind.c:16: warning: passing arg 2 of `memset' makes integer from pointer without a cast shellbind.c: In function `main': shellbind.c:16: warning: passing arg 2 of `memset' makes integer from pointer without a cast ./httpd: permission denied ./httpd: permission denied shellbind.c: In function `main': shellbind.c:16: warning: passing arg 2 of `memset' makes integer from pointer without a cast ./httpd: permission denied shellbind.c: In function `main': shellbind.c:16: warning: passing arg 2 of `memset' makes integer from pointer without a cast ./httpd: permission denied shellbind.c: In function `main': shellbind.c:16: warning: passing arg 2 of `memset' makes integer from pointer without a cast [Fri Jan 14 21:40:12 2005] [error] [client 195.92.95.15] File does not exist: /usr/local/www/data-dist/xyzzy [Fri Jan 14 21:40:21 2005] [error] [client 195.92.95.15] File does not exist: /usr/local/www/data-dist/xyzzy [Sat Jan 15 21:36:33 2005] [error] [client 195.92.95.15] File does not exist: /usr/local/www/data-dist/xyzzy [Sun Jan 16 21:54:06 2005] [error] [client 195.92.95.15] File does not exist: /usr/local/www/data-dist/xyzzy [Sun Jan 16 23:58:22 2005] [error] mod_ssl: SSL handshake interrupted by system [Hint: Stop button pressed in browser?!] (System error follows) [Sun Jan 16 23:58:22 2005] [error] System: Connection reset by peer (errno: 54) I also found shellbind.c in my /tmp directory. Is there a way to tell what type of exploit was used to get these files on my system (ie OpenSSL / PHP register_globals)? I've been monitoring this server from a port that mirrors its traffic using Ethereal, and all seems to be okay now. I also cvsuped -Rr my apache+mod_ssl install.

I have informed a number of providers and hosters, that had their webpage posted into that chan, and informed them about the breakins, so far i got no message back from them. of course, its a longshot, but they didnt seem to check first if the folder tmp has the executable bit set at all, and they named their client like the file youve found. i hope this helps you further.
