I was trying to re-install my ubuntu box as it has some wrong items in gnome menu due to previous language setting, but before I do that I came up with a crazy idea of making it a honeypot, and see how fast it can be hacked.<\/p>\n

I did it in the morning before I went to office, and by the time I got home in the evening, you know it started running something funny already (pscan2). Seems it was a pretty standard to make a zombie (I believe in China it is called “catching chicken”), and once it become a zombie, it started scanning other machines on the internet.<\/p>\n
They are using Yahoo’s Geocities to store their program, glad to see Yahoo is helping people in any mean …<\/p>\n
Anyway, get to re-install the machine again, have to be a fresh image as I have no idea of what they have done else. Oh yea, I have to move the machine back as I need wired internet connection and keyboard and monitor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
