Why do I see <01><02>_MSBRO on my linux network with EtherApe?


hello,

I'm running xubuntu 12.04, why do I see <01><02>_MSBRO on my linux network when running etherape. I curently have no Windows node on my network. Is someone attempting to hack into my Box?

Thanks in advance,

And Samba is not installed on my computer.

E.g : "The software 'nmbd' is not yet installed. You can do it by typing :
sudo apt-get install samba".

I suppose http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...m0406-1025825/ or hyekim0406 is maybe the hacker who have access to my computer...

I guess but I'm not sure. It's maybe a hazard or not... I wrote in the first link of this message posted on Linux-Newbie.

But soon after my post on Linux-Security, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...seok8-1026388/ post many messages with SAGA798.com... And not on other Linux Forums...

I suppose it's a hazard but I cannot be sure. Please help, if you can. If it's a hacker, I guess he would have be stronger not to be visible on EtherApe. I guess, I don't know. Waiting for your help.

Ok. I found why...

There was samba error in the configuration of my box.
I disabled it and when I restart my Box, <01><02>_MSBRO disappeared.

Samba is not installed on my linux computer, but it deals with the configuration of my box which seems to use it.

So, no one is hacking my box . But it looks like a strange hazard with the hacking of the Linuxquestion site just after the post of my messages, some what...
