Re: [FW-1] sniffing network



I'm afraid that you may need to take drastic actions, i.e. Fdisk, format, reinstall...
As a interim step, to help prevent further damage, find out the ports that the sniffers and probes talk on and block their access to/from  the outside world.  After that, if you want to avoid the fdisk solution, talk to your antivirus vendors, intrustion detection vendors, and other security sources to see what help they can offer.
If you don't have antivirus software installed on servers, desktops, and gateways, get it asap!  Implement policies about outside software and files to help prevent further infiltration.
Just a start, but as they say, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step."

them.
