Ah, Under Attack!

Check listening servers

netstat -atpn

tcp        0      0 192.168.1.2:50047       221.21.21.21:6667      ESTABLISHED6125/bash

OK, who’s running bash with PID 6125 (the number next to bash)

ps aux | grep 6125

chris     6125  0.7  5.8  98128 30360 ?        Sl   21:26   0:19 bash

OK, so it’s Chris. Lets shut down all of his running processes

kill -9 `ps -u chris -o “pid=”` (You might also find this useful: killall -u chris )

Delete his account

userdel chris

Check the history of commands issued
cat .bash_history
Also, you can use the “history” command.

scp SourceFile user@host:directory/TargetFile
scp user@host:folder/SourceFile TargetFile
Use the -r flag to transfer directories
If transfering large files use -c blowfish to get a faster cipher

You can restart a crashed X server (GUI) by hitting CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE. You can get into a command line terminal, by hitting CTRL-ALT-<FUNCTION KEY>. Generally, function keys F1-F6. F7 (at least, in Ubuntu) is the GUI “terminal” if you like.
