Just to be sure, you aren't running a nightly backup job that sends
your data offsite, are you? ;-) I had a similar experience, as I
ship a fair amount of data off to Amazon S3 every night.
I think you ought to try trending your traffic. Set up something like
MRTG or Cacti to monitor your ethernet interface and see when this
traffic change is occurring. Spikes in activity may help you identify
the process.
As was previously mentioned, NTOP might help here as well. In fact,
if you are only seeing 1 or 2 GB, I imagine that it will handle it
just fine. Fire it up during a spike, and you ought to be able to
look at the activity by 'host'. You should see where you are sending
all of this data fairly quickly.
Best of Luck,

The 64 address is a serial offender, I' ve over 700 hits from it in
the logs
Appears to be in LA California, most likely a hacked server - it has
the normal ports open

Los Angeles, CALIFORNIA, United States US (Vrtservers, Inc)"
The china stuff in my logs has just shifted to different IPs since the
last batch of update FW rules, but the traffic is high

This is definitely the source of my troubles.
I've blackholed the serial offending IP's but Im sure it will shift
again.

Subject: Weird Traffic
All,
I have a leased server I use to host some websites and for the past
week I have been getting traffic warnings. The server has been
transferring > 1GB of data per day, which is unusually high,
especially since I moved my mail to Google Apps. I have noticed a
ridiculous amount of attempted proxying attemptes in my logs, but I do
not have mod proxy turned on. I suspect my server is on some list. I
firewalled off a large number of subnets from China and my traffic
dropped for a few days, then this morning, 2735MB transferred in 24
hrs.
As of right now, I am planning to blackhole all China traffic, since
thats where most of this is comming from, along with the occasional
traffic from France and other places in Eur. Is this common? If so
are there any other remedies?
