My tcpdump output showed it connects to a http server at 89.238.150.154:5 and exchanges some data there&lt;p&gt;sent &amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; BUILD X86&lt;p&gt;recv &amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; !* HTTP&lt;p&gt;recv &amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; 190.93.240.15,190.93.241.15,141.101.112.16,190.93.243.15,190.93.242.15 pastebin.com &amp;#x2F;4HQ2w4AZ 80 2&lt;p&gt;recv &amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; PING&lt;p&gt;sent &amp;gt;&amp;gt;&amp;gt; PONG&lt;p&gt;then it just goes to do ping&amp;#x2F;pong with the same server.
