It's possible that the "lsof" command wasn't trojaned, since most root
kits don't check for it. Try "lsof -ni" and see if there's any difference
between "netstat -lp". If so, copy over a new "ps" and "ls" and "netstat"
from another machine that you know hasn't been compromised (a fresh install
is best, and make sure it's the same arch/distro). If lsof shows an
unusual port, check to see what program is running in the far left column.
Locate that program and run "strings" on it to get more info. This should
get you started. Keep us updated on what you find.
Thanks,
