RDD Proces pops up

[diepchess]

Hello!

Suddenly a proces "RDD Proces" popped up in top. Never saw this one before.
Where i indeed ran firefox and youtube video the proces was eating 50% cpu time - realize that on background i run prime number software crunching at all cores 24/24.

Very obviously this RDD proces getting used to hack me.

If i typed:

cd /
px - ax | grep RDD

Then i couldn't find RDD proces.
Also as root it wasn't possible.

When as root i noticed the proces in top i killed the processnumber.
Now suddenly it shows up AFTER i killed it.

root@thegathering:/# ps -ax | grep RDD
10284 ? Z 57:19 [RDD Process] <defunct>
12441 pts/2 R+ 0:00 grep RDD
root@thegathering:/#

If i grep through filesystem i can find it nowhere. Duckduckgo'ing on it says that firefox starts it.
But how do i avoid firefox to start this one up again?

It is very obvious that RDD Process here was getting used for hacking type purposes.

After i killed it the video (in this case Within Temptation) ran further on youtube without problems.

How to avoid anyone managing getting 'out of the box' in firefox starting a proces which i can find nowhere which doesn't show up in 'ps' and only is visible after i killed the process_id?
It seems stealthy type of thing. How is this possible in linux?

I design 3d printer here. I hope to sell for a billion dollar. How can i criminal prosecute the dude who decided this? (it's not like there is nothing to steal here).

Any information more than welcome!

Kind Regards,
Vincent Diepeveen

Stop watching YouTube videos or set media.rdd-process.enabled to false in about:config

You really should learn how to use search engines...

Thanks, I see the problem now.

I had typed about:config before but then i get a window saying "this might void your warranty".
And i always clicked that away - guessing my typing was not succesful!

There is a button there 'accept the risk'.

I clicked that now and then i see a lot of settings.

Why is this media.rdd-process.enabled not default in firefox disabled?

Now i must write down that after every install of linux with firefox i must first set this to disabled?

How do procedures work there in debian?

Ask a search engine.

Yes.
