Hello,

I am experiencing way more mobile data traffic on my RUT 550 router than expected.  I have about 60 RPI devices connected to it.  It looks like the traffic increased from about 10K a day to about 5 Gig in just one week.  I though it had something to do with problems or failure in the router or the mobile SIM card / net provider.

Using RUT tcpdebug and WireShark to analysis, I see high frequency of connections to the following addresses.  Can anyone tell me if this is normal, caused by standard services (time synch or something...) or have I perhaps been hacked. I don't understand why I should connect to so many addresses in China, Russia and Japan.  I am located in Iceland, and my remote IP address should be the only one connecting remotely. I don't understand all those connections.  My password is strong, I did not have open to remote ssh until after I saw this.  My remote http has alway been open.  Any info or help would be appreciated.  I was just thinking of block listing this, but before I am seeking more information.  I only have remote access to the router.

Hello,

Looks like you have been hacked. From nslookup or whois a lot of ip.dst are from China but your description isn't enough to say which side is the originator of the TCP connection.

Best course of action: blacklist all those parasites.

Hello,
I have experienced the same on two RUT955 over the last 12-15 months. Running older firmware (3.5 and 5.03).
These units have been on 4G network and suddenly started using several GB per day.

Either there is some brute force / exploit that keeps connecting to use all the data, or it has been hacked and some scripts installed.
I did find something wierd under startup script
"
/sbin/keepaliver
/usr/sbin/ifconfig.conf
exit 0
"

Modem was running old 3.5 firmware. Not sure if that was something that belonged there then or if it was a script added by someone.. I had already upgraded the firmware so couldn't find the ifconfig.conf under that path..
