    As an example, the one I ran into this Summer:

      - tried to hide his own sshd by calling it /bin/sendmail and
        listening on port 322 -- but left its syslog logging enabled, so
        in /var/log/messages there was a detailed list of who, when, and
        from where the logins occurred.

      - left his complete command list from a couple of logins in
        root's bash history.

      - the rootkit he used managed to screw up the system so badly that
        most desktop applications and some command-line tools (such as
        "top") wouldn't even start due to library mismatches.

    That said, I still rebuilt the machine from scratch rather than
    just repairing the damage.
