[newbie] 64.136.24.185:http ESTABLISHED

2005-02-10 Thread SnapafunFrank 
In looking around my system I tried the netstat -atuv command and found 
the following:

tcp0  0 192.168.1.101:32940 64.136.24.185:http  
ESTABLISHED

It appears that my system is somehow connected to 
www.aboutwebservices.com and I have no idea at present in how this is 
possible. ( There are no other established connections.)

Any thoughts ?
Running MDK10 Linux-2.6.3-7 kde-3.2.3 and using a Linksys WAG54G Gateway 
( wired only at present) ADSL connection.

I now own the  Real World Linux Security 2nd Edition  but only just so 
will get started on reading it, it's just that if this is a vunerabilty 
then maybe I should, with your help, deal with it now ?

TIA

Add a p to your command (netstat -atuvp), which will give the PID for the 
process that has established the connection.  Given the PID, do a ps -ef | 
grep PID to see what the process is.  Troubleshoot from there.
