Subject: Compromised FBSD/Apache

Hello...
November 14, 2002 I noticed a service running on port 127/tcp.
The box runs only Apache, no SSL.
Only open ports before this were 21/22/80
PHP was installed 5 days prior to this.
PHP runs in safemode.
I run netstat -an every morning, which is how I found the issue.

"fstat" is your friend -- it can tell you which process holds the
listening socket descriptor.  On FreeBSD you have to use 'netstat -aAn'
first to find the address of the protocol control block (PCB), and then
grep for that in the output of 'fstat'.  For example:

12:44 [6] $ netstat -aAn | fgrep '*.80'
c49e0a40 tcp4       0      0  *.80               *.*                LISTEN
12:44 [7] $ fstat | fgrep c49e0a40
wwwsrvr  thttpd       137    5* internet stream tcp c49e0a40

"sockstat" on later versions of FreeBSD will also show you the daemon
running on the port.
