    Scrot is a Linux screen clipping/screenshot utility. It creates images with that name. My guess is you’re using that either directly or indirectly for screenshots.

    If you aren’t ever taking screenshots, it’s possible some malware may be using that software and just doesn’t bother cleaning up after itself. It’d be pretty sloppy though.

      My guess is my hard drive held down the prtscn button enough to amass 15GB of screenshots since they look like they’re taken seconds from each other and stopped after my HD filled up.

      Maybe I got lucky and have an incompetent hacker.
