                    Ah, nothing like laboring on Labor Day

A day playing D&D (Dugeons and Dragons) (First Edition—old school here) at
Casa New Jersey was only marred by having to deal with a hacked server at The
Office.

The perpetrator was good. Uploading a script which, when run, changed to the
root directory, deleted its own code (it was in Perl) and renamed its various
processes after processes currently running on the box, so it was difficult
to know which website (and the errant processes were running under the
webserver userid) was compromised.

Even worse, the scripts were spamming! Both the email and the website kind.

Sigh.
