cable modem activity

[Charly Baker]

Further to my other reply:

When I said better still install treeps, I should have said it is probably a 
waste of time using ps, you really have to have another utility such as 
treeps.  The reason is that rootkits will often include a replacement ps and 
a replacement pstree that won't show you the processes that the rootkit runs.  
Treeps will.  If you really think that you may be compromised, then standard 
tools like ps won't help, unless you get the binary from a known to be secure 
and uncompromised machine.

BTW, this isn't theory, it is my own personal experience.
