I have been doing some network traffic monitoring using tcpdump on a Fedora 36 machine. And a list of suspicious activities with (but not limited to) fedoraproject.org has been observed while nothing except the bare minimum OS and GNOME has been running and no network activity is supposed to be found.
The issue has been reproduced for more than once on this specific machine by long-term monitoring using tcpdump tcp. However, I have not found the root cause of it yet. Nor did it come up with anything noticeable in pair.
Only a part of the tcpdump log is attached in below due to the forum post limitation. Any help clarification or method to remove this suspicious behavior is appreciated.
Thanks.
