I meant to ask this on Saturday, but completely forgot (space out!).
Even though I only have dial up, the modem is attached to a firewall.
Ipcop is installed and all patches that I know about have been applied.
Snort is running and I get this message (among others, of course, but this one
is a bit disturbing):
Date: 06/05 15:58:24 Name: BAD TRAFFIC loopback traffic
Priority: 2 Type: Potentially Bad Traffic
IP info: 127.0.0.1:80 -> 209.165.13.125:1444
References: none found SID: 528
If I ssh into the IpCop box and ask for ip information (ifconfig) I get:
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:209.165.13.125 P-t-P:209.165.107.2 Mask:255.255.255.255

What am I seeing here? a misconfig somewhere or a compromised firewall?
The other entries in the snort log are pings and portscans and the like.
