[PLUG] malware cont'd


took me a while to make sure I was firewalled correctly (logs show it keeps trying different ranges). They were all stopped at SYN. Back to finding the source, I checked PROC/pid and found a bizarre assortment of zero byte files, symlinks, and recursive dirs, not to mention a 29g mirror of my HOME dir. Could not find anything that called it into existence in these dirs. (Thanks, Michael)

pstree(?) showed the fake processes came directly from systemd - top level. Is there a way to tshoot from there? Can't find it in logs.

Tomorrow it's a new install and lighting a candle to the Flying Spaghetti Monster to make sure my data is clean.

Tks.
