From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Take your device offline, asap.
ls -lon the executables (you'll have to find them yourself) will give the last modified time.If it's logging to the journal, you can grep through that and find the first time it logged.
If it truely is malicious, none of those will be trustworthy, as they can be changed by a malicious actor. If you can't work out where it's from, wipe and start over is probably the best bet.
The strongswan installation itself doesn't seem to be malicous.
It looks like these packages were installed via the apt repositories: strongswan-starter
strongswan-libcharon
strongswan-charon
libstrongswan
Check /var/log/dpkg.log. See when they were installed, probably alongside something you wanted.
