=>Well, this generated some good ideas, but I could use more. Thanks.
One more for aftermath cleanup if you're running an rpm-based setup:
rpm -Va will check every file in the installation for integrity.
Also, are you running ftp or telnet? Is your apache code the latest? Have you shut off all unneeded services? Are you running identd? Do you block unused *outgoing* ports?
All excellent suggestions. Dag nabbit -- I'm a software engineer without the spare time to become a hardened security expert. Alas, it seems I must take the time, which distracts from productivity, but I no longer have a choice.
If I ever find whomever is responsible for this -- not bloody likely, but I can frolic in ideation, can't I? -- I won't be responsible for my actions. Or actually, I will. The worst of the old medieval torture practices will pale in comparasion to what I'll do to the cybervermin...
