Akamai technologies Yahoo and Microsoft

What do you do when you are attached by Microsoft, Yahoo, Akamai Tecnologies and its partners, because i was playing with them with a few scans and now i am getting attacked from avery corner? They log on to my firewall as well as far as i have seen. what do you guys sugest i should do?

[shqip]

By the way, they have done something to fire fox too. i am having problem with it too. It is like a trucking script of something like that. I cannot even post here. Its like being in prison.....

IF you think you've been hacked, the best thing to do ist to unplug the network cable and reinstall. Then read this (http:///ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=919472), before you connect to the interweb.

I know I have been hacked. The question is why would some idiots do it? For what reason. By the way, I was hacked and attacked, but I was using windows at that time of attack. I send an email to Microsoft, asking them why do you and your partners attack me. When I posted this I was using windows because I was trying to fix them but, they went kaput. Out of order. I only use windows for one thing. I ******* hate Microsoft.It is not only me who has been hacked and attacked by them, it's is also my ex wife, because they have been monitoring me it seems and we have been exchanging email on yahoo.

There is nothing like Linux. It seems like the firewall I am using, is part of them too because all IP s I have blocked go right through when they scan me and all of their requests too.

Jim By the way they are attacking my Ubuntu too. I was not able to use the internet for a while and i am not sure if they will continue doing it. They installed some soft of script to block all internet connection. I delete me windows completely and i never want to use them again. It might bill himself. soon, they will probably do something to this Ubuntu i am using now. So, got 2 watch out guys from Microsoft and it's partners, as they will never like Linux, because it will take over the market soon. I hope i will be able to use the internet. By the way they are watching me as i type now, so they have some very sophisticated tools. Watch out guys.

If you don't have any services running, and you are using strong passwords, you have nothing to worry about.

I don't have any services running at this point, but i might want to, sometimes in the future and this people are after me and i don't get it why? I don't know any programing but if i did, i would get back at them.


I don't want to open a new thread, but i was wondering if anybody from the Ubuntu or any other Linux distribution would tell me what these are?


Buffer I/O error on device sro logical block

SQUASH FS error unable to read fragment cache block 24897 daa, size 6e67

end_request: I/O error dev sro, sector 1201920



There are more but i don't want to type all of them, i am feeling lazy.
This has something do do with the program/script they installed on my laptop so i would not be able to use the internet on my other Ubuntu partition. By the way they seem to know that i am posting here too.

I don't mean to insult you, but you sound like a paranoid schizophrenic. It is hard to believe that Microsoft, Yahoo, or Akamai would crack your windows box to the point of remotely installing extfs device drivers and own the linux partition on your computer as well. This is a pretty time-intensive operation in response to actions which must garner little to no attention at these corporations. That they also exploited your router is hard to swallow also, though it is possible. Was the squashfs error you received on your computer, or your router?

You would get a little more support if you were more specific with the symptoms and errors you are experiencing.

Writing Akamai is attacking me and knows everything I type, they are watching me! is surely getting you dismissed as a crank by almost everyone who reads your posts.

I do not doubt that you are having problems with your operating systems and internet connectivity, but occam's razor would lead us to believe you do not know what you are doing vice being attacked by hackers on behalf of major internet companies.

Sorry if this comes off as invective, it is not. You are just going a bit off the deep end with the speculation as to the root of your problems.

Hope you get the problem worked out!

Unplug your router, flash the firmware with a third-party computer.
Get a third-party computer on your network running a NIDS.
Image your hard disk for forensic analysis on another computer.
Format and reload your disk with a ubuntu install cd burned by a third party computer.

First of all, for some reasons I am not able to multi quote the message.


Give one good reason why someone without any programming knowledge, but who knows what's going on in the dark world or unseen by most would not sound paranoid. To most it would look crazy, but to the few it would not.


The squashfs error was on my computer, but it is hard to believe who would waste time, not only mine but theirs too.


Well I might have been over-speeding when I did type that.
I tried to have Ubuntu only till yesterday and I wanted to install sage, I need to practice, but something happen to my laptop when I was out to watch a movie. It seems someone got there and installed something on my laptop and the Ubuntu OS was not responding at all. It was ok before that I think. i had to reformat the disck and add windows too so i can use sage. I tried to install sage on Ubuntu through wine but i was not able 2.


I have tried to reinstall it again, BUT someone changes the password I type when I install the OS so I cannot use them as I am not able to log in after the installation.


I have formatted the hard drive several times and I tried to encrypt the hard drive but, I cannot. It seems a programme is preventing encryption.


“Image your hard disk for forensic analysis on another computer.”
Where can I do that?

There is much more but I do not want to mention on here!

Hi - I'm new here, and totally new to Ubuntu also (I installed Ubuntu just this week), but I was having a similar weird thing going on just today with some Akamai IP addresses showing up in my Firestarter "Active connections" area, even when my browser was closed and nothing should have been online! This happened several times, during several different browser sessions. Needless to say, after having spent some time in Windows-land, this worried me, so I did a Google search, which led me to your post here.

However Google also turned up the following info, which might provide a rational explanation for the weird Akamai thing:

From http://forums.thinkbroadband.com (http://forums.thinkbroadband.com/showthreaded.php?Board=security&Number=3576458)
"...one report reveals that for every static file downloaded from Akamai, an attempt is made to breach the firewall. The intent of this, is a load-balancing measure; in an effort to see which server responds fastest, it will send a packet of data to the user's computer from each of its servers and see which one bounces back quickest. The trouble is, with a firewall, the packet doesn't bounce - it sticks, intercepted by the firewall - and when nothing comes back, Akamai will continuously make attempt after attempt instead of simply choosing a server at random (or by some other criteria). Norton Personal Firewall views these as "suspicious activity" and won't let them through, nor will it dignify them with a response. Presumably other firewalls will react similarly. The end result: any site with Akamai multi-server hosting will either load REALLY slowly (if only part of the static content eg images, secure content, etc. is hosted over multiple servers by Akamai) or time out entirely (if the whole site is hosted this way) as Akamai makes hundreds if not thousands of attempts to breach the firewall for a single page download."

Bear in mind that I have no clue how networking stuff works, so I don't know if the above could actually be the answer - I'm just sort of taking the thinkbroadband.com poster's word for it that they know what they're talking about. ;)

Anyway it might not be anything to worry about. :) I'm hoping that's the case.

Thank you for the information e4000

And with that I will close this thread ;)
