“Noel continues the story of when some Unix boxes that he
helped admin were cracked. This article talks about some of the
efforts made to track down the cracker and some
surprises.“
“At this point I am more than a little nervous. He has noticed
my port scan within seconds and has already tracked me back to
Texas. I rm the port scanner and log out. Hoping that I have not
let the cat out of the bag. By this point I am beginning to assume
that he may have root on any machine. But the same things that are
his friend are mine. There are so many systems and so many
connections that a search for me on the Texas system even if he has
access to the logs would most likely drown in a sea of
information.”
