Dear Debian users,

I think my computer was hacked. A music CD that I bought in a store (Redbook audio
standard) was left in the CD/DVD bay.  Then, mysteriously, a song
by Destiny's Child ("Jumpin' Jumpin' ") got transformed into the *.ogg format, but I didn't ask for that. Same sound from stereo playing Redbook format audio CD
and the *.ogg file on the hard drive ...

I do not have hard facts but tis seems to be just clicking wrong
key/mouse which caused to creaye such thing.  ...

So I took a test-drive of Ubuntu 8.04 Live CD, and then did a complete
reinstall.  Now, I'm using Ubuntu and  the firestarter firewall.

I'd like to know about ideas for security, including for example intrusion-detection systems.

If you are playing with Ubuntu, please ask their mailing list.
Then you get better support.

Yes. Truth is I left the music CD in the bay and the BIOS settings had the CD/DVD drive as the first boot device. It may have contributed to my Debian installation crashing.

The Gnome system monitor now shows incoming traffic at 4 kB/sec every 20 seconds. Maybe this is when my computer contacts an SNTP server ( simple network time protocol).

Would a package such as ethereal tell me what this traffic is?

Thanks,

David
