Hello

I need an advice. I have Windows 2003 server. It occasionally show
strange and suspicious network behavior. I used command "netstat -abov"
and Process explorer tool from Sysinternals to find process behind
connections. I found that it is "System 4" and got stuck. How I can
identify what is behind this "System 4"?

I thought it may be hidden process, but RootkitReveal from Systinternals
did not show anything.

I will be grateful for any ideas how to identify what is behind these
TCP connections from server to many computers!

Thank you in advance.

With best regards
Martynas

I'm not a windows guru but presumably you can go by it through the *nix method.

Get CYGWIN from Redhat. make sure you install stuff like lsof and ps from the packages. (and top). These are all commands from *nix based environments that help out in situations like this.

They should help you see whats going on your microshoft system
