[nsp-sec] mech found

	Good day,

	On Friday night/Saturday morning European time we had some fun tracing 
a DoS attack to a bot on an pwned box on AS6750. We found a mech bot and 
went on to gather some intel from it. The most interesting piece is on 
mech.set (somewhat confirmed by mech.session):

SERVER 88.191.99.23 6667

	Which belongs to:

AS      | IP               | AS Name
12322   | 88.191.99.23     | PROXAD AS for Proxad/Free ISP

	It does at this time have an IRC server on it, but I have been unable 
to tell whether it is otherwise legit or not. An httpd process (which 
"cleverly" disguises what actually seems the irc client binary -haven't 
tested-) was also found. VirusTotal participants seem to agree that it 
has Linux/Osf.A (or other similar fancy names). ITs 
md5:4fa84a0c5a6bc304771a49a50067d886.

	If anybody is interested in further dissecting the thing, I'll be happy 
to send a tar.gz.

	Another bit found on the box is called dc.pl and dc.txt. I guess this 
was only used to put the bot in place.
