Hi all,

Thanks to everyone who replied - they were very helpful.

Confirmed that it was indeed the Stacheldraht agent.  Anyway here's
how I eventually got it:

-  did tcpdump -i eth0 -n icmp on the Linux box.  confirmed that
indeed it was doing ICMP
-  did the following commands as suggested in the web sites:

-  lsof -c ttymon. this confirmed ttymon process running
-  lsof | grep raw.  this confirmed that it was the ttymon process
sending out ICMPs
-  strings /sbin/ttymon.  this confirmed that the ttymon binary was
indeed the Stacheldraht agent.

I don't know how to find which process is sending ICMP but the netstat
command can show you which process is using which port and where it is
connected.

netstat -np, would be a good start.

Hi

I have a Linux server which I now is sending out strange ICMP traffic
to two hosts.  My IDS (snort) told me that its a stacheldraht-dos.  I
have checked on the server using tcpdump and indeed it is sending out
ICMP.  Now, how do I found out which process is doing this?  lsof so
far has not been successful.

Thanks.


Best,
Tony
