Just out of curiosity, what are you trying to do?  Are you trying to retain the
existing system without having to rebuild the box?

A hacked system is a broken system.  It should be rebuilt from the ground up. 
You do not know what has been changed, compromised, etc.  You cannot be certain
that anything like this would restore this system to a pristine condition
without some portion of the hack lingering around.
