I am getting a ton of these...
Here's what ls -l /proc/3147/exe says
lrwxrwxrwx 1 apache apache 0 Nov 16 15:56 /proc/3147/exe ->
/usr/bin/perl
When I do netstat -nap I get:
tcp 0 0 131.x.x.x:44160 72.14.x.x:80 ESTABLISHED - tcp 0 0
131.x.x.x:44161 72.14.x.x:80 ESTABLISHED -
tcp 0 0 131.x.x.x:44162 72.14.x.x:80 ESTABLISHED -
The ip points to google...
And these appeared in the /tmp folder:

What is going on?
Have you looked logs yet?
I mean, apache ones, mod_Security (if you´re running it on that box), and of course secure
one.
Looking at that logs will help you a lot to find a trace of how and when the
"hacker" broke into
your system, and maybe you´ll be able to know what they left there. I supposed some kind
of
trojanized binaris like bin, su....you know...
One more question, are you allowing groups (different from root or common users) to use
wget? I´m
too paranoic with system security and i´m used to allow ONLY for root to use wget,
telnet,
ftp...you know.
Still waiting for the logs.
Greetings.
Manuel.
