After having a customer report that he had large amounts of outbound
traffic from one of his Linux servers, I began to investigate and found
a trojan.
The trojan had created a crontab for the "nobody" user (Apache was
running as nobody and, while I did not take the time to verify I believe
that Apache was probably the way the intruder got in) which, at 24
minutes after the hour, would write itself out to /tmp/ummtodkhk and
then execute itself.
The /tmp/ummtodkhk file was packed with UPX. It has been unpacked and
made available at http://www.jeremygaddis.com/files/ummtodkhk. It was
submitted to VirusTotal, but nothing identified as anything known.
The results of `crontab -l -u nobody >> nobody.cron` are available at
http://www.jeremygaddis.com/files/nobody.cron.
