[mohaa] different ways of crashing a server???

[Anthony Quon]

It definitely wasn't the uboat spawn hack since I patched that successfully 
and I wasn't able to spawn one myself...unless there's another way of doing 
it. About ssh...I do use ssh to login to the server itself..but agreed...ssh 
or sftp should be a better solution for my customers to use for file 
transfer.

I just upped the logs on this server to see if I can capture the exploit 
that was used. I normally do not have any logging on since that really 
affects the performance of the server.

So does anyone know if there are any other exploits besides the 
uboat?...it's frustrating since my customers are complaining to 
me...hopefully the logs will show the method used...

Thanks for the help guys
