I have looked around but couldn't find anyone else with this issue. On my console (standard asus i7 laptop) running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - I noticed in tcptrack that there are a lot of connections being made to an ip address belonging to Amazon EC2 services. I don't have any connection to amazon at all, and these connections are all status SYN_SENT. IP examples: 50.17.195.149 and 54.243.128.120.
Is this a security offense of any kind, or is there a rational explanation?
Thanks in advance.
Check out the output from tcptrack immediately after opening chrome.
Netstat Output:
netstat
command that (given the correct arguments; check its manual page) will tell you which process is responsible for making the connection. – user42178 Mar 3 '15 at 14:04
