I should clarify this comment a bit since it seems to be the most controversial.

When I say the attacker was persisted via CM, I'm pointing at his own notes, nodding to broken CM, the requirements of supporting the CM and availability of the config files.

I also sanity checked the sshd_config file on my systems, they're all set to a sane default:

"AuthorizedKeysFile .ssh/authorized_keys"

FWIW I prefer to treat CM data as "valuable" information for this reason.
