Mac Forum / General / Networking / January 2005Has My Mac Been Hijacked?
I've had a couple of link with some kind of a Gateway timeout on 2 different browsers and a couple of different web sites. Port 32081 is always involved and the site I am trying to get to never loads. One web site is TV Guide when I click on a movie to see the description. Another is simply trying to go to the Allume/Aladdin Message Forum. Can someone tell me... is Port 32081 is used for any particular usage? Is Port 32081 OK or should it be blocked? TIA...

COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME Camino 101 <username> 32u IPv4 0x02571cac 0t0 TCP 66-53-178-241.oak.saber.net:57771->compression04.oak.mdsg-pacwest.com:320 81 (SYN_SENT) The only thing I recognize from above is that I am using Camino and saber.net is my ISP when Port 32081 is trying to be used. Still don't know what is prompting Port 32081 to be used. Also, Firefox processes the same link without trying to use Port 32081...

Are you using some kind of web accelerator? The name "compression04" suggests a proxy of some kind that compresses the data. But the site isn't responding to your connection requests; SYN_SENT means your system sent a connection request but hasn't received a response. > Also, Firefox processes the same link without trying to use Port > 32081... Jim Maybe you've installed the plug-in in Camino, but not Firefix.

I've not installed any web accelerators but my ISP added something a year or so ago that speeds up uploads/downloads. Since the data from Terminal references saber.net (my ISP) followed by "compression04" etc, I'm guessing this has something to do with what I'm seeing... even tho its worked fine for a year or more. I'll call my ISP tomorrow. Thanks for help in the event you have no more comments...

The saber.net reference is *your* machine -- it should show up in all your connections.

I concluded same as I encountered more of same problem today. It appears that the port 32081 activity is used to retrieve the error messages when an error is encountered with the web accelerator that my ISP uses. Both my ISP and the web accelerator company are working on the problem. From what I have seen, error could be triggered by a DNS lookup problem or Camino's inability to handle some java code that TV Guide may have on their web site. I say that because Camino barfs pretty consistently on the web site and Firefox has not encountered any problems so far... Jim |
