Im running FBSD 5.4 as a web server the server is behind a cisco firewall
/router and the server has alot of CMS jumila / mambo sites on it. I noticed
that when i ran sockstat i was seeing multiple IPs connected to high ports on
the server with a process id of "psybnc" . Did some looking around & found
that this is a IRC relay program that was installed through a compromised
mambo site. after getting rid of the program I changed our router to disallow
this type of traffic..& started trying to fix the box. Im pretty sure that
root wasnt compromised but im going to re-install anyway. my question has
anyone run into this problem with CMS sites, HOw excatly are they getting in ?
what are the things I can do to prevent this. On FBSD how do you checksum
binaries on the system to ensure someone hasnt replaced one with there own binary.

thank you...and & all help is greatly appreciated
