I thought all the telecoms were state run in Europe, except in former Communist states? France, UK, Italy, and Spain, I'm pretty sure they are all state run or state "sponsored". Not sure about Germany or the Viking countries. In a world where freedom is illegal only criminals will have freedom - Brian Densmore > -----Original Message----- > From: Zscoundrel > > Interesting.

I actually support this idea. Let the Canadians keep their lethal beef. I'm switching to a Venison diet, I like my brain the way it is ... uninfected. What with UK, Canadian, American, Japanese and many other countries reporting case of diseased beef killing people, who needs it. Beef - It's what's for your last dinner! ;')

I went to visit Chris at KU. He's doin' fine. He was in the hospital because his humerus needed a little bit of bone transplant. The surgical steel plate in his forearm needed replacing too. When I saw him he was wide awake, mostly achin' to get to tonights meetin'. Michael handuma.com http://www.handuma.com

Trojan Found

I found a trojan running on my server today - rootedoor (http://vil.mcafeesecurity.com/vil/content/v_128116.htm). Couldn't find much information about it on the web. If you know anything specific about it (not general speculation on rootkits, trojans, etc.), I would appreciate you sharing it with the list. I detected it running as one of the last two processes listed by 'ps ax' just before a reboot to install a new kernel; the reboot seems to have elimiated all traces of it from the system. I found a number of missing or corrupt perl modules on the system, but that may not be related, it's an old system and I've had some perl issues before. This _is_ the system that suddenly lost all it's files Sunday night, so it could have been hacked before.

Those could also be mailed to Bill. He posted his address in here a week or two ago.

Server Fundraiser
by Brian Kelsay 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

At the regularly scheduled KCLUG Meeting tomorrow I will collect more funds for the LUG server upgrades. I believe we are about $60 from our goal so that bigger, better drives and a controller can be purchased. Chris Bier will not be present at the meeting and I'm not sure about Bill C., so I will make sure the funds get to one of them in time for the hardware purchase. Only give if you are able. Checks can be made out to Bill Cavalieri w/ a ref. to KCLUG Server Fund in the memo. Brian Kelsay

Do these 2 tools work with the standard .debs I grab when I update my PC? Still figuring some intricacies of Debian out.

I'm guessing no. Although, it might be possible to build an rpm database of installed software on a Debian box and then use that as an additional check. Of course there's nothing, stopping a cunning cracker from building an RPM database, setting the timestamp and copying it onto the cracked system. Something possible with Jonathon's box too. Jonathon, was your check done with a local copy of the RPM database, or an archived known good copy? Certainly, if I were a cracker, installing a new copy of the RPM database would be part of my initial and every subsequent loading of software onto a cracked system. After all, to be successful at cracking it best to remain undetected. Brian
