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?

A dollar says it's Windows "telemetry"
can you elaborate?
what does that ip has to do with my os?
Why don't you fire up the task managre and lookup PID 3792?
NVM, I see that it's chrome.

What the fuck are you doing user?
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..
where do you see MY ip?
Can you show us the output of
ipconfig /a
It's the MOD one on the left hand side, in the "local connection" column.
>used firewall
I laughed'd
I'm making the assumption it's a Windows process connection so its bypassing your windows firewall easy peasy.
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?
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.
1e100 == 1 googol, duh.
How do you get it to show the process NAME?

This seems relevant to your internets
THANK YOU MR SKELETAL
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
I like how i have msnbot
call them and ask
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)
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
