I am getting syslog messages that look like this: Oct 20 18:53:36 saturn kernel: DROP:IN= OUT=eth0 SRC=209.6.241.147 DST=216.52.13.91 LEN=44 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=17664 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=43931 DPT=7 WINDOW=5840 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 I am only getting these messages because I have outbound packets with destination port 7 blocked. I think I may have been compromised in some way, just because the packets are outbound. They seem to come in groups of 6 at seemingly random intervals and seem to be focused on the following addresses: 216.52.13.9[014] and 209.204.62.150 I have a number of questions about how to deal with this issue: 1. How can I find out what program is running to produce this? 2. Is anyone else getting messages like this in their syslog? (You would need your firewall to block appropriately to see this.) 3. Is there any way that I can get access to those packets and see what the message is that they are trying to send? Nothing really bad has happened yet, but I'm getting nervous.
