The server hosting fragroute, fragrouter, and dsniff, www.monkey.org, was compromised recently. It has been reported that the intruder made modifications to the source code of fragroute, fragrouter and dsniff to include a backdoor. This backdoor allowed a user from the IP address 216.80.99.202 to remotely execute commands on the host that it was installed on. The source code is reported to have been corrupted on May 17, 2002. Downloads of the source from monkey.org during this time likely contain the trojan code. A confirmed MD5 sum of a contaminated archive is: 65edbfc51f8070517f14ceeb8f721075 If a fragroute install was based on an archive with this MD5 sum, it is likely that the backdoor code was executed. It is possible for other backdoored archives to have different MD5 sums. If it is believed that a trojan horse copy of fragroute has been installed, administrators should remove systems from the network and thoroughly inspect/clean the system.

If it is believed that a trojan horse copy of fragroute has been installed, administrators should remove systems from the network and thoroughly inspect/clean the system. As of this writing (05-31-2002), the current version available from monkey.org has the following MD5 sum: 7e4de763fae35a50e871bdcd1ac8e23a It is believed that this version is clean. Caution should still be exercised when building and installing.
