Tornkit is a rootkit, a set of programs that is used by an intruder to have unrestricted access to a compromised Linux system.
Tornkit is also attempts to hide its presence.The t0rn rootkit is designed for speed. By that I mean that it was designed to install quickly on Linux machines. T0rn can do this because it takes very little skill to install and run. All of the binaries that the attacker would need come pre-compiled and the installation process is as simple as ./t0rn. T0rn comes standard with a log cleaner called t0rnsb, a sniffer named t0rns and a log parser called t0rnp.
I am including this so that you all diag and clean up your hacked server.
First of all,
Login to WHM as root
Click Tweak Settings
and please remove the tick fromAllow cPanel users to reset their password via email
Step 1. run chkrootkit, and you will see some INFECTED lines. It will also report that some process are hidden from the ps
chkrootkit
Checking `ifconfig'... INFECTED
Checking `login'... INFECTED
Checking `pstree'... INFECTED
and also:
Checking `lkm'... You have X process hidden for ps command
Warning: Possible LKM Trojan installed
Step 2. /etc/init.d/syslog restart
Shutting down kernel logger: [ OK ]
Shutting down system logger: [ OK ]
Starting system logger: [FAILED]
Starting kernel logger: [ OK ]
Step 3. top
top: Error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Step 4. tail /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
# Xntps (NTPv3 daemon) startup..
/usr/sbin/xntps -q
OK.. looks like someone got to your server as well. Since we know what rootkit it is, let us investigate further.
Configuration files
/usr/include/file.h (for file hiding)
/usr/include/proc.h (for ps proc hiding)
/lib/lidps1.so (for pstree hiding)
/usr/include/hosts.h (for netstat and net-hiding)
/usr/include/log.h (for log hiding)/lib/lblip.tk/
(backdoored ssh configuration files are in this directory)
/dev/sdr0 (systems md5 checksum)
/lib/ldd.so {placing tks(sniffer), tkp(parser) and tksb(log cleaner)}
Infected Binaries:
top, ps, pstree lsof, md5sum, dir, login, encrypt,ifconfig,find,ls,slocate,tks,tksb,top,tkpnetstat,pg,syslogd,sz
Infected Librairies:
libproc.a,libproc.so.2.0.6,libproc.so
BackDoor: (located at /lib/lblip.tk)
shdc
shhk.pub
shk
shrs
Now, Lets start the cleaning process:
Step 1.
pico /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
remove the lines that show
# Xntps (NTPv3 daemon) startup..
/usr/sbin/xntps -q
Step 2.
reboot the system
WARNING: 2 servers got their kernel removed after reboot.If your's is the case and that is what the DataCenter complains after reboot, please ask them to do the following:
reboot the system using the redhat CD into rescue mode
chroot to the /mnt/sysimage
reinstall kernel packages
that should fix it.
-- since already in resuce mode, perhaps also ask them to --force install the following rpm's
procps*.rpm
psmisc*.rpm
findutils*.rpm
fileutils*.rpm
util-linux*.rpm
net-tools*.rpm
textutils*.rpm
sysklogd*.rpm
Step 3.
After the system is up
cd /lib
rm -rf lblip.tk
Step 4.
remove the configuration files given above.
Step 5.
cat /etc/redhat-release
note down your version of redhat,
then fromwww.rpmfind.netsearch for the following rpm's
procps*.rpm
psmisc*.rpm
findutils*.rpm
fileutils*.rpm
util-linux*.rpm
net-tools*.rpm
textutils*.rpm
sysklogd*.rpm
-- and rpm --force install them
Step 6.
if you see the hosts.h file, it says to hide all IP's from
cat /usr/include/hosts.h
193.60
thus, if you want, you can block all the IP's from 193.60 to your server via iptables.
Step 7.
If all goes OK,please reboot the server, and run chkrootkit again..
Thats it......................
