hi, today i suddenly found to my surprise, that according to the internet usage website (used by the local cable guy), a few days back my internet usage was 460 Mb, and today its about 4588 Mb!!!
1. someone hacked in, got a **lot** of data out... (but i doubt that, since the intranet (bus topology) transfers are not logged in this accounting... and the total bandwidth the cable internet guy has is about 512Kb/s. Math: 4000MB = 4000,000Kb/64KB/s = 17 Hrs... well its almost impossible considering that no one could have possibly used the bandwidth to transfer my data out... but yes, its possible... 2. secondly, the accounting package is grossly misinformed (which i doubt again, since its been running quite well for a few months now...). Question: any way to check how much data went out / in through network? (listings in /proc/net didnt show any relevant data, or maybe i missed them...) Note: trivial checks /var/log/secure showed ssh logins only via local network (but ofcourse they could be altered...) any other ideas? affly robins _______________________________________________ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
