I am in Chicago now and using Visual Route's trial edition it tells me 10.10.167.40 can be found in Australia. Here is the trace: Address of Hop Name of Hop Location 10.10.10.1 (unnamed) (Private) (My inside interface) my comment 10.20.0.1 (unnamed) (Private) (RCN DHCP server) my comment 207.229.191.130 mart-h1.chi-mart.il.cable.rcn.net Herndon, VA, USA 207.172.19.41 ge0-0-2.core1.chsl.il.rcn.net Herndon, VA, USA 207.172.19.151 ge3-2.core1.sbo.ma.rcn.net Worcester, MA, USA 207.172.15.114 ge4-1.core2.sbo.ma.rcn.net Worcester, MA, USA 207.172.19.37 pos5-0.core2.nyw.ny.rcn.net New York, NY, USA 207.172.15.67 tge1-2.core4.nyw.ny.rcn.net New York, NY, USA 207.172.19.107 tge2-1.aggr1.nyw.ny.rcn.net New York, NY, USA - (unnamed) (An unnnamed hop) my comment 10.10.167.40 (unnamed) (Private) Australia according to Visual Route's location service
The 10.10.167.40 address is not in Australia. Visual Route is being stupid. Visual Route cannot ever tell you were "10.10.167.40" is located (in much the same way, Google Maps can never tell you were "123 Oak St." is located). 10.10.167.40 is an address within the RCN network, probably located in NYC. RCN uses private IP addresses within it's network for network management. This might be some sort of SNMP console probing your cable modem for statistics. It could be anything. If you are curious about this traffic, put Wireshark on your machine and capture the traffic, or 'nmap' scan it for ports. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
