Are you looking for a copy of the uploaded WAR file? If it was deleted, then your only option is to track-down the deleted inode and snoop the bits on the disk. I don't believe the manager performs any auditing of the uploaded WAR files. > The proc with all the connections was actually perl, and runnings > strings on a core dump of that process reveals many perl stuff. > (and also the very weak password list) > > However googling these facts does not seem to be helping that much, > any suggestions? So you have the Perl script itself? Or, it's still running but not available on the disk? Perl compiles scripts as it runs them, so you may not be able to get the full-text of the script without some kind of Perl-oriented forensic decompilation tool. Sorry you got pwned. If you discover anything about the bot, let us know. Maybe there's something we can do to help thwart future attacks (though not running as root and not allowing non-localhost connections are certainly reasonable things that can already be done). - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEUEARECAAYFAk+HAnkACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PABfwCY4Uy7uvQn/oxV6VUAxaUmZS7a DwCgjJg5Q/UbEqbRD9+V3GcwNQu6znc= =183q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
