Hello all,

According to the Wireshark record my computer connects to various services often, including Amazon, Hetzner, 1337 Services GmbH, Evanzo GmbH and ThomasFamilyInvestments. The most often were the connections to mail.my-mail.rocks which is a part of Netcup GmbH. I have a somewhat minimal distro and the attached recordings were made when no app was open including no browser. I can send the other screenshots showing other connections too. I’m suspecting of malware since some time ago but can you help me clarify these connections please?

    If you think there’s malware then just wipe and reinstall.

    If you wanna find out what the computer is connecting to, post the wireshark logs.

    Amazon, hetzner and Evanzo are hosting providers, krebs seems to think 1337 services is a scammy site/company and thomas is a shell company. My-mail.rocks has some tor nodes.

      Exactly my point. Just share the actual wireshark log. You record a few seconds and then stop. And then share the log.

        I’m not just trying to get rid of the malware but also understand what it’s doing. Besides, wiping the system doesn’t help as some viruses can permanently corrupt bios. So before wiping out, I think it’s a good idea to know what’s going on my pc and where do my data go, if there is a malware. I’m a rookie with network monitoring, that’s why I’m trying to learn from more experienced users. Here is the part of the original capture: https://limewire.com/?referrer=pq7i8xx7p2. I will disable tor and close all apps along with some serviced and record again. I will let you know, thanks for your help
