Re: [users] MAC -> IP?



The Cable Modem service here (Road Runner) uses addresses in the
"private" address space to pass LOCAL control info around it's system
for its routers', bridges, etc.  They use addresses in the
10.XXX.YYY.ZZZ range here.  That "could" be an explaination.  That keeps
the "real" internet addresses for their "users".

Another possibility is that someone on your segment is using this
address range for their LAN and it is leaking out.  Private addresses
are NOT supposed to be routable, but I suppose that "rule" starts at the
first router / server, which is probably servicing several customers in
your area.

You might be interested in visiting
http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/~rakerman/trojan-port-table.html .  I did a
little snooping there and on some of its links and found out that port
1015 is commonly used by the "DOLY" Trojan...a Windows trojan.  The info
I found was at http://www.simovits.com/trojans/trojans.html , which is
linked from the first page.  LOTS of interesting info there....
