[PLUG] firewall logs


If you're willing, send me your logs of inappropriate connection attempts.
I wish to see if I can compile some useful info for our resident Trooper.

I was recently shocked by my realization that I had never turned logging on
in ipchains.  I strongly recommend doing so (do a deny all with a -l as
your last rule, just before setting the default to DENY).

Since I turned on logging on March 11th, I noticed a bunch of
inappropriate connection attempts on predictable ports.

First column is connection attempt counts, last column is obvious reasons:

  15 -   137/netbios-ns  UDP - world readable/writeable windows fileshares
  15 -           21/ftp  TCP - anonymous ftp
  12 -       111/sunrpc  TCP - rpc holes / readable/writeable nfs exports
   8 -        23/telnet  TCP - unpassworded telnet
   7 -       500/isakmp  UDP - no idea.. ?
   6 -        53/domain  TCP - recent bad dns root exploit
   2 -       1080/socks  TCP - open proxy
   1 -          555/dsf  TCP - no idea
   1 -        53/domain  UDP - recent bad dns root exploit
   1 -           27374/  TCP - no idea

Of course, I've got source IPs & timestamps for all of it.  I'd like more
data.  Feel free to send me yours.  

Please do not post full logs to this list, mail me personally -
Darxus@ChaosReigns.com.


Oh, and if you're running a Linux server (anything with internet access)
and not running ipchains/iptables (kernel 2.2/2.4, respectively), do it NOW.

If it isn't obvious, I suggest not portscanning any of my boxes without my
express permission, as I intend to submit full logs to the Pennsylvania
State Troopers, Computer Crimes Devision.
