What percentage of attackers have half a brain? ;)
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.
