Subject: Trojan found on Linux server

After having a customer report that he had large amounts of outbound 
traffic from one of his Linux servers, I began to investigate and found 
a trojan.

The trojan had created a crontab for the "nobody" user (Apache was 
running as nobody and, while I did not take the time to verify I believe 
that Apache was probably the way the intruder got in) which, at 24 
minutes after the hour, would write itself out to /tmp/ummtodkhk and 
then execute itself.

The /tmp/ummtodkhk file was packed with UPX.  It has been unpacked and 
made available at http://www.jeremygaddis.com/files/ummtodkhk.  It was 
submitted to VirusTotal, but nothing identified as anything known.

The results of `crontab -l -u nobody >> nobody.cron` are available at 
http://www.jeremygaddis.com/files/nobody.cron.
