For several months now, a box I have up on the net at the office has been generating the occasional complaint from my ISP. They generally a few lines from a report they've received which are largely uninformative except for the fact that they contain the word SPAM in them. I've run port scans, chrootkits, monitored my logs, and several other things, and have never found anything. Every time I call them, they tell me it's probably someone masquerating as me. Just now, I've gotten a fresh complaint which contains the following lines reported to my ISP reported to them by whoever their upstream provider is (I think it may be Global Crossing) 7784 | 207.188.230.120 | 2007-01-16 14:53:27 cbl SPAM | ATLANTECH - Atlantech Online, Inc. 7784 | 209.183.239.194 | 2007-01-16 17:46:43 cbl SPAM | ATLANTECH - Atlantech Online, Inc. 7784 | 65.79.236.162 | 2007-01-16 01:57:58 w.php srcport 2875 BEAGLE | ATLANTECH - Atlantech Online, Inc. 7784 | 65.79.236.162 | 2007-01-16 06:30:47 w.php srcport 4544 BEAGLE | ATLANTECH - Atlantech Online, Inc. 7784 | 65.79.236.162 | 2007-01-16 15:44:26 w.php srcport 3805 BEAGLE | ATLANTECH - Atlantech Online, Inc. The third through fifth entries are the first time Beagle has ever appeared in these reports. Does anyone have an insight to what this could be about? By the way, the first line IP address is my box - the other IP's are unknown to me - maybe they don't even apply. It's funny because when I call tech support and try to ask them about it, they're always apologetic, and don't really know what these reports mean either... -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA
