The best you can do (if you have a time) is to trace this kids back; found where they store stolen/sniffered information, where they are coming from (I have installed my own trojan on my host to do it); look into the sniffer logs thay (may be) have there and determine which other passwords are compromised and (may be) you'll found their own passwords here. If you have more time and hackers are active - create frauded account on other system, present it to the hackers by their own sniffer, and look where from this account will be used. If you have even more time, create frauded credit card number, make sure they get it, and trace back... And so on. When re-installing system, don't close their backdoor but set up a banner _system is overloaded, try later_ and you'll have a chance to get more information -:). Really, any hackers can be traced to it's roots, but it takes a lot of time to do it. PS. And don't hope FBI or someone other will help; except if there is a real damage. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jamie Norwood" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2001 5:38 AM Subject: Rooted boxen and the law > > I am just curious, in these days where every script kiddie with a few spare > hours is out cracking into every box in sight, what do you all do when it > happens?
