    2. Forensic Analysis of a Live Linux System, Part Two
    by Mariusz Burdach

    Last month in the first part of this article series, we discussed some of
    the preparation and steps that must be taking when analyzing a live Linux
    system that has been compromised. Now we'll continue our analysis by
    looking for malicious code on the running system, and then discuss some of
    the searches that can be done with the data once it has been transferred
    to our remote host.
