This system was a pure debian woody none-production one with all services disabled - just ssh was left open in order to see for what purpose the scan was! Yes, there was a guest account with a weak passwort (guest) on it! And yes, they logged in and became root in no time. But I thought the kernel compiled from the latest debian woody kernel-source could be considered to be save. But I was wrong! So I posted the tools used by the attackers to this list and also to the debian security team. Richard _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
