Re: Iceweasel Latest update stealing bandwidth uselessly

2014-12-08 Thread Alex

Thank you all for some useful and interesting (strange??) replies.

There is no decrease in stolen bandwidth - still approx 5 - 6Mbyte/10min 
using Reko's settings:-


browser.safebrowsing.malware.enabled = false
browser.safebrowsing.enabled = false

I notice that there are five other 'browser.safebrowsing.' entries with 
various https addresses with google.com as part of the string:-


  browser.safebrowsing.appRepURL
  browser.safebrowsing.gethashURL
  browser.safebrowsing.malware.reportURL
  browser.safebrowsing.reportURL
  browser.safebrowsing.updateURL

There is also a geko.handlerService with google.com as part of the string.

Extensions and/or add-ons installed:-
Plugins:-
  DivX Browser Plug-in
  Gnome Shell Integration
  iTunes Applications Detector
  mplayerplug-in is now gecko-mediaplayer 1.0.6
  Quicktime Plug-in 7.6.9
  Realplayer 9
  Shockwave Flash 11.2.202.411
  Shockwave Flash 12.1.r601
  Skype Buttons for Kopote
  VLC Web Plugin
  Windows Media Player Plug-in

Extensions:-
  DownloadHelper 4.9.24
  DownThenAll! 2.0.17
  Flash Video Downloader Full HD Di=ownload (4K) 6.8.3
  Flashblock 1.5.17
  Flashgot 1.5.6.8
  TrackMeNot 0.8.13
  WorldIP 3.0.8

While I was checking the about:config and the Plugins and Extensions 
22MByte went down the google gurgler *^*^*%$% even with Reko's 
settings in place.


Some of the traffic is on HTTP, but most (and most persistent) is on 
HTTPS.  It starts off with a number (4 - 8?) of 74.125.237.xxx addresses 
of mixed HTTP and HTTPS, but after a while, the HTTP drop out, leaving 
only two HTTPS.  This process could take about ten minutes. Ten minutes 
of Wireshark file capture could get quite large unless I filter on that 
74.125.237.xxx address range.  While this may reduce the file upload 
size, may we not be missing some sort of 'other' IP address 'calling' or 
'beaconing' for itwa / google to start their BS?


As for LLamas, Yeti's and other furry animals:-
  I subscribe to as little as possible and this includes Llamas, Yeti's 
and even Alpaccas, but I believe that Alpaccas are on the upgrade in 
Aus. ;-)


Thanks and regards

Meh, disable them all and check if that helps.

 HTTPS.  It starts off with a number (4 - 8?) of 74.125.237.xxx

Disable OCSP.  Does it fix things?

There's a lot of crap the browser will check before it tries to connect
somewhere.  And while you are usually better off with some of them disabled,
this is not true for everything.

At some point it is going to be easier to just tcpdump -X -s1600 (or use
wireshark) the offending traffic, and looking at what is inside.

Alex,

That's a lot of plugins and extensions.  I would suggest you disable all
of them, and see if the problem goes away.  If it does, re-enable them
one at a time and see which one is causing your problem.

Iceweasel Latest update stealing bandwidth uselessly

2014-12-07 Thread Alex

Warm greetings to all the wonderful maintainers,

I am sorry to report that, with the latest Iceweasel (31.3.0) update 
came something I did NOT want:-


   This version is constantly loading two google cookies - google.com
   google.com.au (country specific).  If you go into Edit -
   Preferences - Privacy - Show Cookies and try to delete these
   unwanted (in my case) cookies, they will re-appear in seconds and
   have to be deleted again, and again  ad nauseum.

   If you then try to 'block' these cookies in Edit - Preferences -
   Privacy - Exceptions, then addresses in the 74.125.237.xxx IP range
   continue to 'steal' bandwidth by trying to communicate with the
   Iceweasel browser.


I have tested this at length using a blank (new tab) in Iceweasel and 
leaving this open, while watching the 'Activity' and 'Received' counters 
on Firestarter increment while nothing else is accessing the internet. 
The only 'Active connections' listed in Firestarter are to 'Program' = 
iceweasel and are consistently 'Destination' address 74.125.237.xxx and 
using port 443 - HTTPS.


This 'bandwidth theft' happens at a rate of nearly 5Mbyte (4.9MByte) per 
10 minute period or about 30MByte per hour, while Iceweasel is doing 
nothing - at a blank new tab.  This would equate to an overhead of 
approximately seven percent of my total allocation. While this may not 
seem much, when you are on a fixed income, every bit (pun intended) counts.


This does not happen with Epiphany or Konquerer.

Using http://www.pagesinventory.com/ to look up this IP range I find 
that there is a substantial block of addresses from approx. 
74.125.237.135 up to about 200 (and beyond?) that is registered to 
itwa.net.  When I try to find out about itwa.net by accessing their web 
page through a browser, there is nothing out there - blank page.


I then used Firestarter's configuration files 
/etc/firestarter/outbound/deny-to and 
/etc/firestarter/outbound/deny-from to block / deny access to 
74.125.237.136/27 and 74.125.237.167/27 (block of 60 addresses from 
xxx.136 to xxx.197). I found that this stopped this on-going wastage of 
my bandwidth, but this also effectively cut off ALL access to many sites 
that use embedded google maps to show where their various business 
premises are located, when I wish to try to conduct business with them.  
I also found that I could no longer access any instructional / 
educational / current affairs videos on youtube.  It was this that 
alerted me to the fact that google must be using these addresses - since 
google owns youtube and google maps.


I have long distrusted google and for this reason google is my search 
engine of VERY LAST RESORT!!!  I do not wish to contract with them in 
any form or manner and I do not consent to any of their presence on any 
of my IT resources. It is for this reason, that I have Iceweasel Edit - 
Preferences - Privacy - Accept cookies from sites - Always - Keep 
Until - I close Iceweasel set, so as to clear out these un-wanted cookies.


I use Linux (more especially Debian - 'The Ethical Linux'), so that I 
may have SOME control over my own IT resources. So when I am forced to 
have cookies I do not want and have my bandwidth stolen, even when I am 
running The Ethical Linux, I get very annoyed.  II feel that someone has 
slipped us something sick and wrong into this wonderful 'brew' that is 
'Debian - The Ethical Linux'.


This is 'theft' of bandwidth for which I PAY, which is for my exclusive 
use only - NOT some snooping, mongrel, NSA lapdog with way too much 
money. Not only is this theft but it is also done under subterfuge by 
using an unrelated domain name - itwa.net.


   A system can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it
   cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less
   formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. The
   traitor moves amongst those within the gates freely, his sly
   whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of
   government itself, for the traitor appears not a traitor. He
   speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face
   and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in
   the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a system, he works
   secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of its
   nations, he infects the body politics so that it can no longer
   resist. A murderer is less to fear. Beware, beware, beware...  --
   Marcus Tullius Cicero 42 B.C


I look forward to this issue being fixed.

Thanking you in anticipation

Kind regards and best wishes again to the maintainers for their efforts 
with Linux and Freedom of Choice.


Ale

Are you saying that a yeti is stealing bandwidth?? OMG.

But, from what I could google, the bandwidth stealer is from Tibet?? I 
have to wonder just who would profit from that bit of re-direction.


Like the OP, I am on HughesNet with savage restrictions on bandwidth 
usage and I would sure be concerned over what or who is stealing it. If 
anyone has a clue, I'd be interested in hearing it.


I suppose the OP could run Iceweasel in secure mode (no addons) and 
slowly add the addons back, one at a time, to see if he can spot an 
offender ~IF~ there isn't something else installed like Seti that could 
easily account for the unattended usage. Beats me, Ric

 I think the Dali Llama is a Spanish surrealistic painting of a South
 American ruminant, noted for fleecing the tin foil crowd.

You win!

Greetings, [i turns l IL]

ltwa.net has ntg 2do with this. Google is 'helping typo' itwa.net search
process and somehow replacing what you type.
itwa.net seems blank, but has links to from an aussie forum site. Further
work can be done about mate's 7 %. Wireshark may help.

I hope it helps noise suppression.

Whose baby is iceweasel now, really? I am still reporting like-dislike
mozilla help submit feedback, blindly..

Sometimes things are best what we've got, iceweasel debian, google, until
we get gnu'ed, and that has its troubles getting there.

Regards, hec
