[svlug] Caught in the Act

Well, looks like I got someones attention. Sitting at my desk, just minding my
own business, I started to notice network activity that I did not initiate.
Intrigued, I start up IPtraf and see an ftp connection? Hmmm. Maybe I should set
a specific iptables rule for this individual? I do. Then of course I do a little
digging with whois and dig. Ah, hacker site www.splitdna.com.

I must be becoming popular.

12:19:19.062037 IP splitdna.com.ftp > Flags [P.], seq 1396199288:1396199831, ack 1008036457, win 153, length 543

18 packets captured
18 packets received by filter
0 packets dropped by kernel

(note: my IP I took out)

Now, I'm not the expert most of you guys are but it looks like something got through. How do I find out what this is?

I've also made sure to install the iptables-persistant package and intialize it.

Thank You =)
