title: aws network traffic high due to folder 29881 and fake.cfg
body: <p>I am running a java website on an amazon aws instance (Its a linux server). I have installed apache on port 80 and tomcat on port 8080. When i access the website, it default going to port 80(<code>apache</code>) and then it redirects to port 8080(<code>tomcat</code>). All i have done is correctly and the site is working well. But my issue is after i make live the site in an instance(amazon aws instance), there is one folder with name 29881 and a file fake.cfg is generated automatically under tmp folder. After these files are generated the network traffic on my instance is becoming ver high (almost 1000mb) and i need to pay to amazon for this amount of data transfer. </p>
  
  <p>I know this is a type of hacking but anyone familiar with how can i avoid this hacking. The high traffic is generated on the server only after the folder <code>29881</code> and file <code>fake.cfg</code> generated inside the folder. Please help me to fix this.</p>
  
  <p>As i said i have built th website in struts2 framework and hibernate. But when a check on the web that say struts2 xwork causes issue <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16422573/java-tomcat-hacked">here</a>.
