We have found two hacked Linux boxen (on customers boxes) recently that have been used as DDOS creators. Both were older (Redhat 6.0) and were well hacked, replacing ls,find,ps,login,wtmp.. etc... and they installed a small IRC proxy server (BNC ala bnc.com) and then some tools for sniffing and apparently creating DDOS. We were unable to find traces of the originating IP's in logs or other files. I saved some of the programs (t0rnD, stachel..)
