cable modem activity

[Sergey Semenyuk]

Well, the trick is not in port-scanning. DSL's are pretty much crapped with
excessive traffic, and, as I have noticed, sometimes not specifically
targeted, although I had around 10000 incoming connection requests/day
blocked by firewall.  I think it's irrelevant. Just a thought what could
make your modem flash with all its LEDs (ha, very optimistic one).

Hi Sergey,

Yes, it can be port scanning ( it's common stuff these days ) or NetBIOS
broadcasting, as well as Windows likes to send some probes to UDP port 1900.

But lsof -i can give him most detailed info.
