No, you don't, until you've run the exhaustive forensic analysis.  Until
then, you're guessing.  Encouraging people to break one of the foremost
rules of computer security is just plain bad advice.

If you are diagnosing based on symptoms, then you are putting yourself
at the mercy of the attackers.  You are gambling on their complacency.

Bad move.
