[204.74.214.194]: why is this IP address making calls to GLP from my computer? | |
NotReallyHuman_ User ID: 1228980 United States 04/26/2011 10:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | disconnect machine, get wireshark, read packets, use autoruns, find exe making packets, profit Quoting: NotReallyHuman_ 1228980i am in the industry already...i'm fine. i just want to know before i start having to take things apart myself...i am positive it's adobe through voice chat...no doubt about it Why would it be adobe, when Java runs in VC? Why would it not be adobe? Flash actionscript 3.0 allows sockets level connection just like Java applets. Any plugin registered with native code is allowed to do that, short of allowing the scripts to scan your folder. Could be flash, not enough info to say...just outbound traffic to an addy.... |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1157608 United States 04/26/2011 10:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm confused OP, your saying an outside IP, is making calls FROM YOUR COMPUTER via your ip, to GLP? Sorry, computer process SPELL nazi mode off. I think you mean your computer is making calls TO an outside IP because of browsing on GLP (allegedly)? Have you ran "netstat" or "netstat /a" to look for recently active IP connections from processes? |

Element5541 User ID: 864328 United States 04/26/2011 11:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | learn about zombie cookies, FYI -GLP uses two of them. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1245248i clean my cookies automatically every hour, and every open/close of browser...it aint cookies making calls...and besides, cookies are read...they are not executables... Cookies can be poisoned to cause many problems for your system. Application parameters that are stored in cookies, when poisoned, can cause certain attacks to be executed (CSS, SQL injection, overflows, etc...) But that's just my two-sense ;) |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1157608 United States 04/26/2011 11:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So are you helping the OP or ragging on me for not knowing the latest "better then Microsoft" tool. The function of netstat IS TO SHOW what processes have an active TCP/IP connection to the net. I am correct. I take it that wireshark is the newer better alternative? This is from someone who routinely uses linux tools to "fix" windows PC's. But what would I know, I try to live life outside of a basement. Good luck OP, the function of the thread was to try to offer advice I think? |

Good luck OP, the function of the thread was to try to offer advice I think? Netstat doesn't do shit other than showing you have active connection to what server. You have tons of active connection to other servers if you're currently browsing, have your email reader loaded, your messenger, facebook loaded.. It's meaningless. Wireshark is more accurate, can nail which binary/exe is doing what connection, and you can actually see the binary data in the packets that are being sent and received. It's a full fledged packet sniffer. |

Cookies don't execute on their own. I would say a probing. Run wireshark with outbound only filters for that explicit IP. Derp Derp Derp The OP has ran, so who cares UNLESS this is an intellectual discussion about packet sniffing (GLP JOKES INSERT HERE). Yeah I sniffed her, whatever. |
