I am warned from my VPS provider that my server sends a lot of SSH SYN Attack to other servers, but I have no idea how to deal with it.

Here's the detail my provider sent me:

enter image description here

  1. Where can I find the logs that record all of these attack in my server?
  2. How do I deal with this (find the script that send these request) step by step ?

  • The answer to (1) is "You can't". A decent attacker would have covered their tracks. The answer to (2) is contained in the question I've marked this as a duplicate of: "Figure out how they got in, then start over on a clean server and make sure to close that hole"

Finally I find the script.

  1. ps -ef I found 10 processes named ./u2000 &, I thought it was wired.
  2. ls -l /prod/PID/exe I find it links to Tomcat/bin/u2000.
  3. I never know such a thing in Tomcat, so I just remove it and stop all its processes.
  4. Disable tomcat's web console and users.
  5. Change tomcat dir to a standalone user which has limited permission.

    You might want to do full audit on your system, because you just stop the offending application, but you still don't know how it get into your system in the first place. Oct 18, 2013 at 10:41
  • Yeah, you basically should assume your system is compromised no matter what, at this point. Oct 19, 2013 at 0:55
