fullmetaboy Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Yes... You may all know me As Rena, A CIO in a company which i will not talk about because it will give away my last name almost instantly... I have been in contact with my network at home, and i've got a message that Horrifed me. This is something that is bothering me, i was using a Version of Linux Called Rock Linux. I built a program awhile back that would let me access my computers when i was away, just to check on them. It seems that my main super computer has been hit by a String of worms that broke through 3 firewalls, slipped into the Shell, and has corrupted my network... I won't be returning home for another 8 days, i need to still go to Kiev, and Berlin. This is very Serious, i paid tends of thousands of dollars on my network, and i am stumped. For the last hour i have been trying to even get it to respond to me, but it won't. i don't understand, i wrote half of my system up with modifications to be immune to coding that would attack my systems.... Now there are some logical Explanations for all of this... 1.*Rocklinux is written in C, which can also damage your computer if used inproperly, when i modifed it, i wanted it to be able to work without me, so i ended up programming a 3 step program into it. i have two main computers each with 6 operatons and over 8 gigs of ram, both mirror each other so that they can save each others harddrives to my tape drives without them failing... This is VERY VERY BAD! they mirror each other 12 hours, and i have roughly 10 hours to find out now, or to fix it when i get home on break, I AM NOT FIXING IT ON BREAK! NO! but i might have too, so i need to know if the programming i programmed into the OS has damaged the C programming, OR if it has corrupted itself.* PRIMARY CAUSE! 2.*My virus Scanner was only recently put up, and since all together i have 1.5 terabytes of Harddrive space, it takes a long time to scan the whole thing. It is possible that the Virus scanner Suspects that i am trying to connect to it, and is using the firewall to block the port which i am trying connect with. (HOPEFULLY IT'S THIS)* NOT A ISSUE 3.*My computer system was corrupted by the amount of files sent through FTP and may have been Buffer overflowed and Cannot Fix itself without me Physically there (dunno if thats possible, but when i used windows it was)* NOT A ISSUE 4.*RockLinux is downloading an update and can't respond to me* NOT A ISSUE 5.*Internet is down or power is out* NOT A ISSUE 6.*WORST CASE IS, A hacker has gotten into my computer and has stolen my files that are needed for work, in this case i will lose my job, and have to explain to my boss why my network didn't work out completely, and how it wasn't secure...* Secondary Cause If you need to know the C programming Scripts i have a few on a floppy i brought with me to work on, if anyone of you has worked with Rock linux, i might be able to Determine what the hell's going on at home. Yeah... I doubt any of you can help me, but if you do... i'll hook you up with a flail Rena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart_G Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Quadruple post, go you. Just edit your first post with updates on what youve managed to do next time. I was going to suggest to you to use remote shut down, but then i realised your not on windows. As for programming, i know nothing of it, so i cant hope you there. Mabey get a trusted family member or freind to go to your house and switch it all off? I dunno, just a suggestion. Im not much help, but i hope you get it all sorted out with minimal loss.

Yes, thank you though, i have managed to fix the problem, and with minimal to no losses, it was script i altered in Rocklinux that got corrupted... took around 6 hours to fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
