AFAIK, kjournald is not a network program, but a program that deals with the journal of EXT3 (I am running EXT4 on Ubuntu 16.04). Still, when running sudo netstap -tapn it shows up almost 700 times, connecting to an IP belonging to some company in Italy (bladerunner.consultingweb.it).

$ sudo netstat -tapn | grep 195.128.235.204

$ sudo netstat -tapn | grep 195.128.235.204 | wc -l

I really don't get this. The kjournald doesn't seem like some tampered executable, but some kind of internal tool, so I am not sure how to go about this:

$ cat /proc/20086/cmdline 
[kjournald]

I tried nmaping and telneting the port, but couldn't understand what it was doing: 

$ telnet 195.128.235.204 2525

As suspected, this was the result of hacking. A full postmortem can be found on GitHub, along with all the scripts and how I found out.

Basically:

# finding the process number
sudo netstap -tapn | grep kjournald
...
tcp        0      0 192.168.10.2:37126      195.128.235.204:2525    ESTABLISHED 20086/[kjournald]

# finding which executable is running under that process
sudo ls -lh /proc/20086/exe                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 feb.   8 15:56 /proc/20086/exe -> /var/tmp/32a1e380

# ehhh ... that seems weird
# goodbye
$ sudo rm /var/tmp/32a1e380*
$ sudo kill 20086
