Topic: bandwidth hacked

[mike mattos]

iptraf is showing lines as follows indicating usage of my external port.   No similar activity internally, but I have seen Windows file sharing programs do this in the past.  I've turned off Apache and Tomcat, also checked as a spam attack, wondered how to proceed next?

System is SME 55

FTP is off, so is TELNET, so I'm wondering where to look next

Thanks

Not recommended, as nobody is releasing security updates for 5.5.

There is *nothing* you can do to stop sites sending you packets. As long as your machine doesn't reply, you cannot improve the situation. This is a fact of life on the Internet.
