ossec to the rescue
That’s why I love ossec:

Just found this by copying some files for a client from his previous hosting company to one of the hosting servers of a company I work for.
There were actually 2 different sets of files.
The first one contained a tool that “hides” a process, called: “XH (XHide) process faker”, and the second one contained an iroffer executable.
Files:
i)xh-files.tar.gz
Listing:
.log/
.log/.crond/
.log/.crond/xh
.log/week~
.log/week
ii)iroffer-files.tar.gz
Listing:
.--/
.--/imd.pid
.--/imd.state.tmp
.--/imd.state
.--/linux
Mind the . (dot) of the directories containing the files.
