Keeping an eye on your ports. Sniffing out the bad...
Posted: Mon Jun 11, 2012 8:14 pm
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.
