Live CD Kanotix - Google warning unusual traffic
by Nishtya from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6M6FA)
I try out a lot of distros. Not a hopper but a tryer-outer.
Over on DW I saw an announcement that was quite surprising - a new Kanotix dl. So I downloaded it and stuck it on my ventoy USB. Booted fine. Fired up FF and searched to find an unrelated forum I read. Didn't sign into FF so didn't have my bookmarks. I don't like to sign into any of my accounts with a live tryout unless it is an emergency.
Google results gave a warning message. It said that it detected unusual traffic from my computer and wanted me to go through a captcha ordeal, which I despise with the fiery white intensity of an unlocked overclocked AMD Athlon.
Anyone else seen this message from google? I did google the google message and it can just be caused by a large number of people using a single IP. Or, it could be compromised by malware. I am in a nursing home with wifi the speed of dialup and firewalled with what I don't know and for why I don't know. I have been in several facilities and never had so many sites blocked for seemingly no reason so far mostly game sites - they obviously don't want us entertained by anything except farmyard flashcards or lollipop bingo.
I have four linux installs on this machine and have been in this facility for two weeks and have not seen this before. All my installs reach google without that message. Is it worth checking my machine or the iso for malware? And if so, how?
