ran a netstat command recently and found a very weird connection on a system level (pid=4) ip lookup showed it belongs to UK Ministry Of Defence. It connects via TCP and UDP ports that should be closed (used firewall)..
what the actual fuck is going on? am i being traced?
can you elaborate? what does that ip has to do with my os?
Colton Martinez
Why don't you fire up the task managre and lookup PID 3792?
Colton Bailey
NVM, I see that it's chrome.

i got me really anxious.. haven't really done anything bad.. except maybe visiting darknet, probably used torrens several times.. i dont even live in uk for quite a while now..
Cameron Moore
where do you see MY ip?
Logan Howard
Can you show us the output of
ipconfig /a
Leo Flores
It's the MOD one on the left hand side, in the "local connection" column.

>used firewall I laughed'd
Jackson Taylor
I'm making the assumption it's a Windows process connection so its bypassing your windows firewall easy peasy.
Connor Phillips
Yes, that shitty firewall is more or less (probably less) - nothing Especially when the process is on a System Level
So.. any ideas or help please?

Its listening on port 139 I'm pretty sure thats just netbios as a part of samba It's also not possible to make that connection live from behind a NAT so I wouldn't worry about it

What exactly are you smoking
It isn't possible, since any local connection will be routed out to the internet and any external connection will either never reach, or be dropped by the router

Good goy.

I got this one IP that's going to Mountain View, California. Is that microsoft telemetry?
Nathan Thompson
Okay, I just found out that 1e100.net is a Google-owned domain name, which was the domain name for the google address. It's probably just the connection made for when I do captcha.
What part of "local address" do you not understand?
Also: >doesn't know what "telemetry" is >knows how to perform WHOIS lookup
seems legit, nice bait
Adam Barnes
I like how i have msnbot
Robert Howard
call them and ask
Ethan Myers
well, to be honest, that's the part that really confuses me - how on earth a uk (fckin government defence department isp!) ip shows up in local address AND uses my system level processes?
and why there should be any damn telemetry involved, i haven't done anything THAT bad (yet)
Brayden Hill
yes mate! that might be the case, because in fact i do have Hamachi & LogMeIn installed on my machine.
phew.... i thought that shit got serious

governments have been using other countries spy agencies to spy on their own citizens for quite some time now.
it's so that they can claim "we do not spy on our own citizens" meanwhile the country spying on their citizens is still feeding them all the intel they want anyway
