This activity is not normal.

What would I look for with NETSTAT?

Subject: RE: Is someone trying to hack my system?

I would say yes. These logs show that someone from the internet is
connecting to your computer. If someone from the internet can connect to
your computer, hackers from the internet can connect to your computer. It
then follows that someone is trying to hack your system.

It does not follow that these examples are said hackers. You need to be
able to define what normal use is. The fact that two of these are Chinese
IPs and the other two are African (I think), would be a concern for us, but
if you do business in China and Africa, maybe that's normal for you.

Try using netstat to determine if there is anything unexpected happening on
the network.
