Well since the last post, I've scanned the drive for large files
(warez) nothing there...

aside from the proxying Im getting alot of weird (botnet I guess) traffic

looks like this:

The 64 address is a serial offender, I' ve over 700 hits from it in the logs
Appears to be in LA California, most likely a hacked server - it has
the normal ports open
"IP: 64.56.75.87 Location:
Los Angeles, CALIFORNIA, United States US (Vrtservers, Inc)"


The china stuff in my logs has just shifted to different IPs since the
last batch of update FW rules, but the traffic is high

This is definitely the source of my troubles.

I've blackholed the serial offending IP's but Im sure it will shift again.

All,

 I have a leased server I use to host some websites and for the past
week I have been getting traffic warnings. The server has been
transferring > 1GB of data per day, which is unusually high,
especially since I moved my mail to Google Apps. I have noticed a
ridiculous amount of attempted proxying attemptes in my logs, but I do
not have mod proxy turned on. I suspect my server is on some list.  I
firewalled off a large number of subnets from China and my traffic
dropped for a few days, then this morning, 2735MB transferred in 24
hrs.

 As of right now, I am planning to blackhole all China traffic, since
thats where most of this is comming from, along with the occasional
traffic from France and other places in Eur. Is this common?  If so
are there any other remedies?
