Hello.

Recently one of my OpenBSD 3.0 boxes got compromised. The attacker
used OpenSSH exploit and installed trojaned sshd binary. There were
obvious signs of compromise:

<rootsvrtr:/root:251># ls -al /usr/sbin/sshd
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 966656 Oct 18 2001 /usr/sbin/sshd*
<rootsvrtr:/root:252># md5 /usr/sbin/sshd
MD5 (/usr/sbin/sshd) = 1d133d59406c1e3d51fbdaed69ceb83d
<rootsvrtr:/root:253># ldd /usr/sbin/sshd
ldd: /usr/sbin/sshd: not a dynamic executable
<rootsvrtr:/root:254># strings /usr/sbin/sshd | grep OpenSSH_3
OpenSSH_3.4

1) Installed version is 3.4, but OpenBSD 3.0 ships with 3.0. File
modification date is earlier than 3.4 release date.

2) Binary is statically linked, therefore much larger than original sshd.

3) It was installed with other perms (0755) than original one (0555).

I've compared good OpenSSH 3.4 binary with compromised one and found
the following:
