You should have been doing that all along.
First step, before you do anything else, is pull the hard drive, put it
into a hot-swap or external bay, and dd the entire drive to an identical
one. THAT goes to forensics.
Alternatively, pull the h/d, put in a new one, reset the BIOS to factory
settings - that includes pulling the battery... *then* set what you need,
and then build it new, and restore from backups.

Why, yes, we did just do this, um, last year, after a compromise via a
WordPress security hole. It did not manage to get to any other systems (we
checked, and only a few run WordPress).
