Strange Process
 
I have been noticing some strange processes all of a sudden appearing on my box. One is called "scan-a" the other is called "stealth"

I havent done anything in the past few days to add these.. anyone ever heard of them? If not, is there a way I can keep them from running, it shoots my proc usage to 90% when they run

um looks sus to me. looks like it may be picking up a port scan or stealth nmap scan? or possibly [oops] maybe your system is doing the scanning [!]


you have a firewall??

Should have posted more details, hehe.

It's a webserver right now, running apache, php, courier, and a management product called DSM Should be no firewall

do you have any man pages for them??
what does a search turn up:
find / -name "*stealth*"

I guess if it;s a webserver people scanning you now and then is normal however you still might get a firewall on there.
