i suspect it was malicious, pretty sure it was my teacher in my IT program.
thank you for looking into it and getting back to me. i was having quite a
hard time removing the issue but as i need my system for school i wiped and
re installed losing my data in the process. is there any tips you might be
able to give me in securing my system a little better? currently i use
arpalert,arpwatch,chrootkit,and lynis. any pointers or help would be
greatly appreciated. again thank you for your time.
