One of my crackers dumped to a unknown site

I have a very unusual situation here and need some advice.
About 1 1/2 hours ago my lan dialed up and dumped one of my machines, (my internet gateway machine) and dumped 20 hours worth of blocks, I checked my configuration and it has not changed, it is set to work offline always it was my thought at the time that they would show up in the team hourly stats but they are not there it appears that they were stolen somehow, I ran my virus proggie and found no virus. I do not know how anyone could tell my machine to connect as I am on a dialup ISP, I would think that this command would have to be generated internally, If this happens again I will reconfigure my machines so a different one is the gateway machine, I have my machines configured so I can dial up from any one of the machines on my LAN. Anyone have any advice on this?? One other thing I am behind a very good firewall.

Bleep,
Do you have logging turned on? if so, see what proxy it dumped to and when. Maybe it hit some threshold, either time or WU count.
 
Is the Dial-up detection option set to 1 by chance? That would force a dial-out by the client when it runs out of work.

Otherwise, it could be several things that I certainly hope that it is not.

Thanks for the replys. I never run out of blocks, if I should I just crack randoms. I have been cracking for almost 3 years now and this is the first time that I know of that this has happend. I have been flushing to Jator's proxy and my machines until now never connect without my input. Really a weird situation. This may have happend before but this time I was doing some audio editing on one of my machines when it happend or I would probably never have noticed it I dont check my stat's very often and usually do not keep any logs but I will start a log file this evening.
Happy Cracking

<< tell my machine to connect as I am on a dialup ISP >>



you would be amazed at what can be done with a trojan like sub seven!

do you have a good firewall? not black ice i hope
 
I do NOT use Black Ice defender, right now I am using Zone Alarm.
If I understand the sub seven virus correctly it is a ICQ BOT, a remote control for your machine. I do not believe that it can be remote activated without me already connected to the internet, it is my understanding that it can only be activated with it's password and two command lines sent to it by a remote controller. I may be wrong. If you have any other info on this it may help.

I just got through checking all my machines for the sub seven and I do not have it and cannot find any other virus, any other idea's what could have happened?? So far this has been a 1 time thing. (I think)
Bleep
 
It may very well be an odd bug with the Dnet client, or something else. Excluding the bug, my top bet is that your client couldn't connect to Jay's initially, and went to Dnet.
 
VIRGE:
NO NO! The problem is that (1) my machine dialed up without any input from me. (2) It did not dump to D-Net or the blocks would have showed up.
I have the client set to NO fallback so even if it cannot connect to Jator it would have just timed out. Am I right to think that the E-Mail address that I crack under is encoded into the flushed blocks?? If that is the case all that happened is I lost them, no really big deal but sure would not like it to happen again. It may be just a anomally that will not happen again,
Bleep
 
Bleep,

AFAIK, once you crack them, they are yours to keep. Hopefully they will find their way home.😉

Osmo.
 
The email addy is encoded, but I don't know hwo well. If someone was really smart, they could decode and &quot;fix&quot; it, although that's unlikely. YOu may want to speak to Dnet in this case, and see what they think. This could be a dangerous precedent.🙁
 
Well I dont know what happend but It will not happen again. Got the perfect fix. Unplug the phone line when not needed.
Bleep😀
