Step one, unplug the ethernet immediately.

The see how much damage is done. The ONLY 100% safe bet is to completely
reinstall.

If you have tripwire hashes of all system binaries and everything loks ok
then you can be 98% sure it is ok. Otherwise re-install. Bad guys do evil
things like modify w, ps, the kernel, netstat, etc to hide themselves
(including faking the datae on those files).

Good luck,
