[NTLUG:Discuss] Eggdrop

Looks like I have left my ssh port open for a bit too long, and my old RedHat 9.0 (yes the original free RedHat) machine has been hacked.  I found a program called eggdrop running on it.  After securing my machine, I found a few web pages on eggdrop, calling it an IRC bot.  It *seems* like it might be harmless, but given that it had been running for a couple of weeks, I'm wondering what kind of damage it might have done, or what data it might have stolen.  Anyone have any previous experience with it?

Thanks,

George
