sendmail & bind are also bad for your mental health. Consider normal alternatives, or if you want to make sure no one is hacking your system through them, switch to qmail and djbdns.
You will also need to install everything from scratch (and I suggest you init. your bios as well). If you want to do a real forensics, you'll need to freeze the system, and stop touching anything there. Not sure it'll help you a lot (you already know that the guy is from Libia, and I'm not sure you can ask the Libian police to arrest him for that). just my 2 euro cents, Orr.

A server I managed was hacked by a libian hacker. The only thing he did was changing the index.html of some web sites. The server is based on fedora core 2 running: httpd sendmail bind proftp (through xinetd) ssh Any ideas how he could have done it? What should I do to prevent such hackes in the future? -- Ori Idan
