DNS issue or not?


I am seeing traffic I am starting to wonder on.
It is from either bad DNS (Tcpview) or looking at the source, level 3.

It seems to be with Opera 10, but I have not really looked deep, and wouldn't be able to understand it in the logs, but it isn't normal behavior for the 2 or 3 sites I class as regular where it is happening.

Maybe my password is compramised.

Any one else picking up unusual traffic?

Is there any chance of a hint or two as to what you are seeing?

A packet sniffer like IPSniffer might be more expedient than Tcpview.

for instance

One address that I'm not usually seeing but have since recent times

198.78.223.126
OrgName: Level 3 Communications, Inc.
OrgID: LVLT
Address: 1025 Eldorado Blvd.
City: Broomfield
StateProv: CO
PostalCode: 80021
Country: US

NetRange: 198.76.0.0 - 198.79.255.255
CIDR: 198.76.0.0/14
NetName: LVLT-ORG-198-76
NetHandle: NET-198-76-0-0-1
Parent: NET-198-0-0-0-0
NetType: Direct Allocation
NameServer: NS1.LEVEL3.NET
NameServer: NS2.LEVEL3.NET

This one seems for all communication uses src port 80 and 1309, jtag-server for this capture using wireshark, all reference to this address, 1309, j-tag server is the port.

There does appear to be a web server running at that IP address. You were perhaps looking at a page that loads an advertisement from that server.

I will look more at it, but the forums I visit don't show an advert that I know of.

Thanks

It seems to be a footprint server. In the past one of the uses of the Footprint server is windows update. If you have windows update On, you could try turning it off.

Server: Footprint 4.4/FPMCP

@net.au

There is no communication to svchost, nor port 443.

the next addresses usually after are Imageshack or PhotoBucket.

I do DNS to the router thern to my ISP, maybe the router is not working correctly?

Seems the traffic has stopped with Opera 9.64 for the present. However I've seen similar traffic at periods in the past, but with a dynamic address, it could be contributed to many things as well.

Did get a wireshark log though.
