IMPORTANT
NOTE: This document is based on FreeBSD. The concepts should be similar across operating
systems, but the commands will very likely be different.
Also, never assume the directory structures exist in your system
as written in the document. Never blindly follow security
instructions -- read, review, compare, apply as it fits your
system.
The following will remove user and
world permission from c, c++, and related compilers. These
tools are often used by hackers to set up and install
root kits. Please note that wget and lynx are not
compilers, but are often used to fetch the root kits which are
then compiled.
Log into each server as root. Then
copy and paste the following to your command line to execute (please
double check directory locations as applicable):
chmod 700 /usr/local/bin/wget
chmod 700 /usr/bin/telnet
chmod 700 /usr/local/bin/lynx
chmod 700 /usr/bin/links
chmod 700 /usr/local/bin/bcc
chmod 700 /usr/bin/byacc
chmod 700 /usr/bin/cc
chmod 700 /usr/bin/gcc
chmod 700 /usr/bin/perlcc
chmod 700 /usr/bin/yacc
