fake_udp
I just upgraded to El Capitan and Little Snitch suddenly and continually asks me for permission to connect to fake_udp on port 55. This seems to occur only when my Netgear Genie program is running. ...
Hello, on several occasions my Netgear D6400 router has attempted hundreds of connections to "fake_UDP". I found this post and want to ask if anyone was able to identify the cause/source of these connections? Has there been any resolution to this issue? I am running the latest firmware (1.0.0.74). Insights and recommendations regarding how to put a stop to these connections are appreciated. Thank you!
- I don't know why we are hit with these packets. I can say the packets stop coming. It is irritating. But you are up against a "bot" of some sort.
