However, recently a webserver that I do minimal administrative work for was attacked. We're still unsure exactly what had been done. Most of the logs have been either cleaned or wiped completely (either by log rotate or by the attacker). I was gone for the weekend so I sorta came back to this. I don't really have questions about the attack per se, we're doing pretty well at the recovery process.... one question I do have however is this. > > The attacker (either manually or using a program) replaced all index.html/htm and index.php files they had permission to replace with a UDP flooder. I extracted some of the information from the flooder using the strings program and heres what I get: > [cut] Hmmm.. Have you tried to disasm the flooder yet? Maybe you can discover somethin interesting in it. Anyway I think this attack was performed by a script kiddy that found a flooder somewhere in the net and used it without knowing what he was doing... Brrr.... Some time ago some stupid lamers sent repeatedly to my apache a string composed by a SEARCH/ and a very long shellcode made of \x02,\x80 and NOPs (\x90). Some days later I discovered that this was a IIS bof... so the attacker was a lamer? Maybe someone attacked with the same "technique" of the l4m3 that attacked me without doing damage, but against you the attack worked...
