linux - How to find which script on my server is sending spam emails?





My server is sending the spam email and I am not able to find out
which script is sending them.



The emails were
all from nobody@myhost so disabled from the cpanel that
nobody should not be allowed to send
emails



Now at least they are not going out, I
keep receiving them. This is mail I
get:



A message that you sent could
not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error.
The following address(es) failed:



eckert@clearfieldjeffersonredcross.org
Mail sent by user nobody being
discarded due to sender restrictions in WHM->Tweak
Settings

------ This is a copy of the message, including all the
headers. ------

Return-path:

Received: from nobody by
cpanel.myserver.com with local (Exim 4.80)
(envelope-from
)
id 1UBBap-0007EM-9r

Is there any way
to find which script, or which user, is generating those?



Answer




Linux Malware Detect ( href="http://www.rfxn.com/projects/linux-malware-detect/"
rel="noreferrer">http://www.rfxn.com/projects/linux-malware-detect/)
installation is quite easy :). Go via this link, download href="http://www.rfxn.com/downloads/maldetect-current.tar.gz"
rel="noreferrer">http://www.rfxn.com/downloads/maldetect-current.tar.gz.
The link to this file is located at the very top of the web-page. Then unzip this
archive, go to newly created directory by running cd in your terminal.
In the
directory run




sudo
./install.sh



which will install the scanner to
your system. To perform the scanning itself you are to
run



sudo /usr/local/sbin/maldet -a
/



-a option here means that you want ro scan all
the files. Use -r instead to scan only recent ones. / specifies the directory where scan
should be performed. So just change it to any directory you want.



Just that )

linux - iDRAC6 Virtual Media native library cannot be loaded

When attempting to mount Virtual Media on a iDRAC6 IP KVM session I get the following error: I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and: $ javaws -version Java(TM) Web Start 1.6.0_16 $ uname -a Linux aud22419-linux 2.6.28-15-generic #51-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 31 13:39:06 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ firefox -version Mozilla Firefox 3.0.14, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2009 mozilla.org On Windows + IE it (unsurprisingly) works. I've just gotten off the phone with the Dell tech support and I was told it is known to work on Linux + Firefox, albeit Ubuntu is not supported (by Dell, that is). Has anyone out there managed to mount virtual media in the same scenario?

hp proliant - Smart Array P822 with HBA Mode?

We get an HP DL360 G8 with an Smart Array P822 controller. On that controller will come a HP StorageWorks D2700 . Does anybody know, that it is possible to run the Smart Array P822 in HBA mode? I found only information about the P410i, who can run HBA. If this is not supported, what you think about the LSI 9207-8e controller? Will this fit good in that setup? The Hardware we get is used but all original from HP. The StorageWorks has 25 x 900 GB SAS 10K disks. Because the disks are not new I would like to use only 22 for raid6, and the rest for spare (I need to see if the disk count is optimal or not for zfs). It would be nice if I'm not stick to SAS in future. As OS I would like to install debian stretch with zfs 0.71 as file system and software raid. I have see that hp has an page for debian to. I would like to use hba mode because it is recommend, that zfs know at most as possible about the disk, and I'm independent from the raid controller. For us zfs have many benefits,

apache 2.2 - Server Potentially Compromised -- c99madshell

So, low and behold, a legacy site we've been hosting for a client had a version of FCKEditor that allowed someone to upload the dreaded c99madshell exploit onto our web host. I'm not a big security buff -- frankly I'm just a dev currently responsible for S/A duties due to a loss of personnel. Accordingly, I'd love any help you server-faulters could provide in assessing the damage from the exploit. To give you a bit of information: The file was uploaded into a directory within the webroot, "/_img/fck_uploads/File/". The Apache user and group are restricted such that they can't log in and don't have permissions outside of the directory from which we serve sites. All the files had 770 permissions (user rwx, group rwx, other none) -- something I wanted to fix but was told to hold off on as it wasn't "high priority" (hopefully this changes that). So it seems the hackers could've easily executed the script. Now I wasn't able
