Thank You for Care .. from everybody for this case ..
I know that talking about Fedora as a backdoor container makes us angry .. But we must be
careful about these sensitive issues.
As a reply :
My friend didn't have enabled auto-update.
The archive meta-data can be updated automatically even if the actual
updates are not installed.
He completely Surprised of un-human-authorized connection by fedora.
He disabled these actions by :
sudo echo 127.0.0.1
vm3.fedora.ibiblio.org proxy3.fedoraproject.org
apps.fedoraproject.org 6-55-236-85.rev.customer-net.de >> /etc/hosts
This does not work, for two reasons: “>>” is evaluated before the sudo
privilege escalation, and Fedora will not use the host names you
listed. This means that adding them /etc/hosts will not block their
use.
You need to look at the network traffic with Wireshark and figure out
what the original host names are (“sudo tcpdump -i any -s 0 -v port
53” would work as well). This will also tell you what is actually
going on.
