I have partially understood the strange connections popping up.
tcpdump sets the network interface in promiscuous mode. This means that:
Quote:
In computing, promiscuous mode is a configuration of a network card that makes the card pass all traffic it receives to the central processing unit rather than just packets addressed to it
Still I do not understand the "strange connection Nr3", any idea?
Thanks

driftnet
DRIFTNET(1) General Commands Manual DRIFTNET(1)
NAME
driftnet - capture images from network traffic and display them in an X window; optionally, capture audio streams and play them.
SYNOPSIS
driftnet [options] [filter code]
DESCRIPTION
Driftnet watches network traffic, and picks out and displays JPEG and GIF images for display. It is an horrific invasion of privacy and
shouldn't be used by anyone anywhere. It has been described as `a graphical tcpdump(8)', `EtherPeg for Unix', and called all sorts of nasty
names by people on Freshmeat. It is also possible to use driftnet to capture MPEG audio data from the network and play it through a player
such as mpg123(1).
Images may be saved by clicking on them.
OPTIONS
-h Print a summary of usage.
-v Print additional details of packets captured to the terminal.
-b Beep when a new image is displayed.
-i interface
Listen to packets on interface. By default, driftnet will try to pick up traffic on all interfaces, but this does not work with all
versions of pcap(3); on such systems, an interface must be specified. On some systems, driftnet can only use promiscuous mode if an
interface is specified.
-f file
Instead of listening on an interface, read captured packets from a pcap(3); dump file; file can be a named pipe for use with Kismet
or similar.
-p Do not put the interface into promiscuous mode.
-a Operate in `adjunct mode', where driftnet gathers images for use by another program, such as Jamie Zawinski's webcollage. In this
mode, no window is displayed; images are captured and saved in a temporary directory, and their names written on standard output.
-m number
In adjunct mode, silently drop images if there are more than number in the temporary directory. It is assumed that another process
will delete images which it has processed.
-x prefix
The filename prefix to use when saving images, by default `driftnet-'.
-d directory
Use directory to store temporary files. Driftnet will clear this directory of its own temporary files on exit, but will not delete
the directory or any other files.
-s Attempt to capture streamed audio data from the network, and either play it or, in adjunct mode, save it in files. At present this
only works with MPEG data.
-S Capture streamed audio data only, ignoring images.
-M command
Use the named command to play MPEG audio data. The command, which is executed using the shell, should accept MPEG frames on standard
input. The default is `mpg123 -'.
filter code
Additional filter code to restrict the packets captured, in the libpcap syntax. User filter code is evaluated as `tcp and (filter
code)'.
