Confession
Thursday, January 10th, 2008So today I come to you with a confession, I discovered one of my boxen had been successfully attacked and the attacker had by the looks of things used it for launching DDoS attacks. I feel particularly stupid because the entire thing was my fault, I left the root password as root. Although I must stress I didn’t set it to this, I was using a pre-build debian install because the d-i installer was broken under arm and forgot to change the root password to something a little more secure.
