Crazy modprobe

[Rodolfo Ponteado <netpatrol () ieg com br>]

Please could you tell me what is this

First i scaned my own box

Interesting ports on blacksoul.raphouse.org (***.***.***.***):
(The 1542 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed)
Port State Service
22/tcp open ssh
25/tcp open smtp
80/tcp open http
110/tcp open pop-3
113/tcp open auth

Remote operating system guess: Linux Kernel 2.4.0 - 2.4.5 (X86)

And then i looked at the syslog entry
