Some Asshat tried to hack my Linux box.
Yesterday morning I was combing thru the logs, and it looks like someone tried using a skript to exploit some of my system logins. Luckily my security held up, and they couldn't get in. They tried for like 3 days it looks like, and they gave up...for now. This is very different from back in 2000 when I got hacked, and my system files destroyed in an attempt to cover tracks. I came home and saw my DSL router blinking. I was like :wtf: . I logged in, and saw that commands had been executed as root...commands that I didn't do. :mad:The asshole was still on my system. He apparently had exploited some type of ftp weakness, because it showed the other user on the system was "ftpuser." After this incident, I became more security aware. Anyone else ever been hacked?
