"SYSADMIN SMACKDOWN: My Server Just Went ROGUE, Anyone Have Tips to Catch the Culprit?"

[Yaroslavi]

"Hey guys, just had a crazy morning - I woke up to find my server hogging CPU and memory like it was going out of style. Apparently, it rebooted a few times overnight and I'm not sure what triggered it, but I need to get to the bottom of this. Anyone else ever have a rogue server and how did you track down the problem?"

"Dude, first thing I'd do is check the logs for any recent updates or potential config changes that might've gone sideways. Also, make sure your system is up-to-date and run a virus scan to rule out any malware infections. Anyone use Prometheus and Grafana for monitoring? That might give us some clues."

"LOL, sorry to hear that bro. First thing I'd do is check the system logs and see if there are any suspicious activity or login attempts. Also, make sure your SSH keys aren't compromised, that's usually where I'd start."

"Dude, first thing I'd do is check your logs for any unusual activity. Look for anomalies in system calls, login attempts, or disk usage. Maybe also scan for any suspicious malware or rootkits."

"Hey OP, sorry to hear that. First thing that comes to mind is to check your server logs - you might be able to pinpoint the time when things went sideways. Also, have you tried running a memory dump or a system crash log to see if anything shows up?"

"Yikes, that's a crazy situation! I'd suggest checking the server logs for any unusual activity around the time it went rogue, and also looking into the system calls to see if there's any suspicious code execution. Maybe someone can share their experience with intrusion detection software?"
