Mr. Philippe Daoust, A computer from a network block registered with your name recently successfully compromised one of our own computers. 207.35.251.172 gained unauthorized root access to our system on Sept. 16th at approximately 7:55 PM. The attacker created a root account which he later connected to via telnet. The following 2 captured packets offer proof but we'd be glad to let you see the entire session, if more is needed. 09/16-19:56:01.491606 207.35.251.172:2243 -> 192.168.1.102:21 TCP TTL:48 TOS:0x0 ID:16787 IpLen:20 DgmLen:56 DF ***AP*** Seq: 0xCF78AEB1 Ack: 0xEBCE0EB9 Win: 0x7C70 TcpLen: 32 TCP Options (3) => NOP NOP TS: 237392604 29673829 69 64 3B 0A id;. =+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ 09/16-19:56:01.742466 192.168.1.102:21 -> 207.35.251.172:2243 TCP TTL:64 TOS:0x10 ID:1730 IpLen:20 DgmLen:91 DF ***AP*** Seq: 0xEBCE0EB9 Ack: 0xCF78AEB5 Win: 0x7D78 TcpLen: 32 TCP Options (3) => NOP NOP TS: 29674034 237392604 75 69 64 3D 30 28 72 6F 6F 74 29 20 67 69 64 3D uid=0(root) gid= 30 28 72 6F 6F 74 29 20 67 72 6F 75 70 73 3D 35 0(root) groups=5 30 28 66 74 70 29 0A 0(ftp).
