[just joined the list, so i don't have the latest]
we received a call from our provider noc today indicating their links
were saturated as a result of one of our hosts. we tracked it down to
a "talk" program that had been running for 1.5 days (the noc only
indicated about 4 hours of the intense activity when they called). it
looked legit with no obvious malicious intentions (we didn't find any
questionable looking programs such as "flash" or "talk" ) :
xxxxx 814 34.8 0.4 84 252 ? R Nov 6336:04 talk aakhtar orion.it.lu
c.edu
anything new on this ?
[is there an accessible archive on this list, btw ?]
thanks,
-eric
