Hacked.
My poor linux testing machine got hacked over the weekend!! Some bastard went and stole my root password!!!
*cries*
I got hacked, mummy, and it really really hurt!
What a way to make a girl cry!
It was so well hacked that I couldn't get INTO the machine to see HOW it was hacked. Thus, leaving me with a pile of hardware controlled by Joe Random.
"Bugger that!" says I, and out came the distribution disks for a clean fresh install of our favorite penguin.
So, right, I'm now ultra paranoid.
Everything is getting chained down and nailed to the floor.
*eyes off network cable*
Only one way to fully secure a system and that involves 3 tonnes of concrete, 1 machine gun and a pack of hungry pit-bulls.
Bastards arnt going to get me twice, damnit. If anybody can help a n00bie learn about Linux Security, please drop me a message!
