What you may want to consider is if you have a network management system
such as Nagios is create a service that checks the size of the binary every
5 minutes. You're notified if the size goes over a certain threshold. You
can also take the perf data and graph it using one of the many Nagios
graphing tools available. You can even use something like Munin for a task
like this. I couldn't get along without this. On some PBX's I have, I
monitor over 600 different metrics spread out every 1,5,10,15,30, and 60
minutes. Because they're spread out, the load average from these checks is
zero. Just a suggestion.
Regards;
John

I would also start by putting an audit rule on the binary. Something
like
this:
Quote:
auditctl -w /usr/sbin/asterisk -p war -k asterisk-bin

Quote:
then you can get a report on who modified it and when by using:
ausearch -f /usr/sbin/asterisk

Its a start, but eventually you might need to monitor even keystrokes
with
pam_tty_audit.so to understand who is doing this:

Thanks I'll keep that in mind.

Just to report back, stopping pre-linking as detailed yesterday and setting
immutable with chattr on the Asterisk executable on the Head Office box here
appears to have solved the problem. The box did not crash this morning as it
did the previous two days and is working fine... strange, but good.

Previous to the problem starting on Tuesday, the box had been running fine
for about three years 24/7 - so I might still have some kind of compromise
going on.

Anyway thanks for the assistance everyone

Regards

Stefan
