Let me jump in here: _please_ do _not_ post the IP and other
details of a hacked box on a public mailing list! The (sad) fact
that a box got hacked doesn't give anybody the right to use it
as a playground -- if you want to find out about current hacking
techniques, put up a honey pot for yourself ;-)
Using an open backdoor and snooping arround is considered a criminal
offense in many countries.
