Hi!
A scan on my computer reported as up many local ips which simply does not exist in my network. This host is supposed to have ip 192.168.0.4, but all other ip should not be there... I have a USB modem connected to a Linux box, connected itselfs to a wifi linksys router and thats it...
# nmap -sP '192.168.*.*' | grep -v down
Starting nmap 3.81 (

Host 192.168.0.4 appears to be up.
Host 192.168.7.27 appears to be up.
Host 192.168.10.0 appears to be up.
Host 192.168.10.1 appears to be up.
Host 192.168.10.31 appears to be up.
Host 192.168.11.192 appears to be up.
Host 192.168.11.193 appears to be up.
Host 192.168.11.223 appears to be up.
Host 192.168.11.224 appears to be up.
Host 192.168.11.225 appears to be up.
...
And several run of this command does not produce exactly the same output (some ips appear, some others disapear...)
More surprisingly, a traceroute to any of these IP hops out of my box:
# traceroute 192.168.159.28
traceroute to 192.168.159.28 (192.168.159.28), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets

I guess somebody hacked my box, but I really want to understand this topic better. If you need any additional information, just tell me...
