Yes, you can, but not from the command line normally. I've repaired
SuperForker style bombs for people before, which required use of
wildcards. Wildcards can easily get around that if you know about it
("find" for example supports regular expressions).

FYI, a lot of root kit script kiddies install irc bots after they
control the machine, as either a back door or something like an
automated welcome mat to announce that the machine is available.
