This is absolutely fascinating - and stunning that it only took ~90 seconds to be infected. Turns out the source code is... open source:

Just to clarify it's not published by the author - the author got hacked and their source leaked.

Well, crap, you had the same thing when RedHat 7 was new. new RedHat 6 installs that went online were getting pwned in just a few minutes. The exploit scripts were open source even then.
