Server has been compromised

By franx47

Hi,

I want to ask something about server that has been compromised. Recently, one of my VPS server has been hacked and the attacker install somekind like “IRC” script.

Everytime I killed the process or close the port, it can open again .. and again ..I’m sure the attacker has installed something like a hidden script. I hv using tool like Rootkit Hunter and find each of the suspicious result.

It really makes me crazy and pain. How can he/she go into my server (as a root) even I have changed the root password.

OS: Centos 5.

Please help. 🙁
