CHiLL Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this in Chrome? I've been monitoring our bandwith and noticed that machines will periodically pull massive amounts of data for a brief amount of time, somewhere in the region of 160Mbps each, on our 200Mbps line. I've tracked it back to Chrome, specifically when the application launches (may be first use at logon). I don't know exactly what's causing Chrome (78.0.3904.70). It is the enterprise version, with updates disabled and the only extension deployed is Impero.
Jaan Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) Is this not the self update mechanism? EDIT with updates disabled and the only extension deployed is Impero. sorry just noticed this Edited December 4, 2019 by Jaan
Garacesh Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 I know Chrome fires off some checks on launch.. IIRC they're for DNS poisoning. I seem to recall it requests impossible domains and if it gets a response it knows not to trust the DNS. Could be to do with that?
