tcpdump and libpcap trojaned Brian @ Thu Nov 14 05:29:04 EST 2002
The latest versions of libpcap and tcpdump available from tcpdump.org contain trojan code that connects to 212.146.0.34 on TCP port 1963.

While snort was not directly affected, if you downloaded libpcap from tcpdump.org, you should take steps to verify your system's integrity.
