HewlettP and Shenzhen weird communication

asked 2018-08-09 01:43:32 +0000

Hello everyone.

I´ll begin by saying that I know little to nothing about internet traffic, but I have a doubt. Wireshark is constantly showing a source called "HewlettP" communicating with "Shenzhen" and viceversa.

I don´t have anything with those brands as far as I know. My cellphone is Motorola (which appears when I connect to wifi and later disappears when I disconnect) and nothing else. My printer is Epson.

My question is, what are these sources? I don´t have any open program and I´ve searched in Google if there is something that could lead me to an answer (probably being background processes) but I had no luck.

Thank you very much!

You say "My cellphone is Motorola (which appears when I connect to wifi and later disappears when I disconnect)"; you don't say whether your Epson printer is connected by Ethernet or Wi-Fi (my guess is Ethernet, but there might be Wi-Fi-enabled printers, and you might have a Wi-Fi router that has Ethernet ports into which the Epson printer is plugged, and it might bridge or route Ethernet packets from the Epson printer to the Wi-Fi).

Are you capturing on Ethernet or Wi-Fi? If you're capturing on Wi-Fi, are you capturing in monitor mode?

My printer was disconnected from power. It´s on Ethernet.

Even if it was Wifi Enabled, it was not powered.

Do you mean other printers in the range of the wifi? Like a neighbor´s printer?
