Keeping an eye on your ports. Sniffing out the bad...

[Michael Slaunwhite]

Ever wanted to know what is actually going on with your outbound, what program is accessing your network which shouldn't be?

Here is a link for software that will keep track of all outbound traffic, and what software is going where.

If you decide on downloading Curr ports, and can't find the download link, just scroll to the bottom of the page,and you will see it there (32/64bit).

Okay the reason why I want a program for this is I have Malwarebytes installed, and it keeps blocking a piece of software from accessing the internet which I am now wondering if I have a breech in my security.

It's not coming up with a name of the program, it just tells me it has blocked outgoing access. My firewall is up, I scan my system regularly for cookies, I clean constantly but something has gotten through which is why I am now going to trace what program is doing what on my system. If I can lock this down, I'll simply...

#1: Uninstall, and clean the offending software.
..and if I can't find it... I will
#2: Redirect it to my local host via my hosts file.

Just something I thought I would pass along. It's always nice to find what is actually going on with your system at all times.

Hope this helps you folks out there.

The above port monitors are fine, but I came across something that just made my job a heck of allot more easier. Like I mentioned above, I was looking for a piece of software that told me what software is doing what, and I think I may have found it. It's called TCPeye which you can download from the link below. Here is a shot of it on my system.

Note: You can also end processes, do a Whois, Geomap if you wish to find out who is who which are accessing your system, and stop the offending software, or block incoming boners out there who are sniffing out what is on your system.

Note: If you can't find the download link for whatever reason, you can find the latest copy to download found at the bottom of this post since I zipped it up for you.
