recently I have noticed a lot of small traffic thru my internet connection ( eth1 ) even when I'm not surfing. How Can I determine if I'm being used as a zombie, or have otherwise been compromised?
I use a cable modem, and share this with my wifes windoze box. I run firestarter as the firewall.
Besides watching the traffic, installing and running chkrootkit is a good way to test for whether or not your system has been compromised. There is an MDK RPM for it for the recent (9.x) releases; it's in contribs, IIRC.
have done that already nothing,
so what causes the constant traffic when I am not running a browser, etc?
