frozen Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 So I wake up today, start my freshly installed mandriva 2006.. I open my /home directory and I find there about 10 files randomly named such as: wav312gIIMXXG.wav wavSu3Meer1X2.wav jpgOv7YI7GquJ.jpg jpgy2cKAqHoHG.jpg gif9UqTjXip1T.gif gifdP4uyMvHuF.gif gifIgqrrTeMFP.gif gifjnPtKyJEeC.gif gifJwepkT7D8f.gif gifRXUDOkhmrQ.gif .. and a few other .bin files which I've deleted just to be on the safe side.. once i saw that, immediately started looking at logs (thought i was exploited :)) but found nothing... then i ran clamscan only to find some worm labeled Worm.SomeFool.P. how did that get there?? according to timestamp all the files were placed between 00:30 and 01:30 this morning.. I openned up Kmail and found some notifications by my ISP's virus scanner about attachments containing that same worm but I didn't know it could work under linux so I just sent those messages to trash instead of permanently deleting them... has anyone experienced this before??

devries Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 These look like temp files. Nothing to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunni Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 I wouldn't be happy to see those in my /home directory. Temp files should be in /tmp or at least hidden away in an app specific hidden directory... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
