Disabling the botnet for good

there was no internet in the 70s, not to mention web which only existed in in the late 90's, which is the only thing CDN applies to

Still proves nothing. It's literally the equivalent of saying that two sites are working together because they both use cloudflare.

Your dates are off. ARPANET was created in 1969, though it didn't adopt TCP/IP until 1983.

The Web became public in 1991 and started gaining steam in 1993 when Mosaic was released.

Man I remember those days. Then the local ISP got bought off by a communications company. Good thing is that in Eastern Europe no one really enforces any kind of laws, even if they are paid to do so. Trackers will not go offline

As if I wasn't paranoid enough already. You know you've shit posted for freedom too hard when your browser starts needless data uploads.
Press F to remember my shitposting user
and digging Clinton emails. Fug :X

This I know, which is why I was surprised icecat was doing exactly the same. See
I don't use palememe, because I know it's a meme. As mentioned Tor is 'OK' and not uploading data, but we know Tor is already compromised because glowniggers have got many exit nodes.

Thanks anons for the pointers

We've not seen another Nimda because everyone making viruses and worms got hired to work on them professionally. That one barely had any payload and took the internet down just by how aggressively it spread.

For any other anons finding something similar. I've managed to stop the uploads and downloading packets.
The 'downloading' packets were a server response that indicated detectportalfirefox.com/success.txt was being sent repeatedly & rapidly.

From the botnet manual support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-stop-firefox-making-automatic-connections:
text-------------------- In the address bar, type about:config and press EnterReturn. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise!I accept the risk! to continue to the about:config page. In the about:config page, search for the preference network.captive-portal-service.enabled (for example, you can type portal in the search box above the list and pause while the list is filtered). Observe the Value column of the network.captive-portal-service.enabled row. If it is set to false then do nothing. If it is set to true, double-click on it to set it to false. -----------------------support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-stop-firefox-making-automatic-connections
This resolved the issue I was facing, at least in part. Though I can hear the disk ticking over, so I wonder if this was merely a more visible part of a botnet infestation. Ah, the joys of autism and paranoia user ;^)

Eariler I had tried an user's suggestion by going into about:config and sanitizing everything found for the term "goog". I set any options found to be the same as the Torbrowser (a Firefox derivative). There are many more botnet settings than Torbrowser, so those I set blank to err on the side of caution. However, this had no effect on the issue I was facing.

During the search for resolution I stumbled on the following which may be of interest to anons far more knowledgeable than I in the area of networking - who may find this useful:

Since I'm no longer torpedoing and able to post images, here's an old and still very relevant OC

Solving this is worth new OC for (you) user.
