Today I noticed an attempted connection from our webserver to an external IP address using the socks 5 protocol. googling around I found out that socks 5 is used for some kind of remote access or authentication. I asked our webmaster and he has no Id what the remote IP address is. what could it be? did someone manage to own our box and using socks to bypass our firewall? Can anyone tell me more about socks?
