Re: Re: spyware on OS X



It's a standard kiddie script. It tries to log on as "root", "guest", "admin", and "test".

(It should serve as a warning to folks such as myself who occasionally use "test" as a non administrative testing account.)



----- In Response To -----

I routinely have password guessing attempts on my machine every day :(

You can see such things in System Profiler under logs / system.log
(or with 'cat /var/log/system.log' in the terminal)

Port scans show up too
