Re: [PLUG] Messages in security log of my FiOS Quantum router


Hello Bhaskar,

The MAC Address will always remain the same as MAC Addresses is a layer 2 protocol.  As for the rest it looks like responses to your web site surfing.

SPT=443 = The web servers responce

DPT=37085 = The web browsers port it chose when making the connection.

My Verizon FiOS Quantum router has a message like this in the security log every few seconds (not exact; varies):

*<UTCDateTime>*ulogd[895] notice<173> Blocked IN=eth1 OUT= MAC=*<WANMACAddress>*:2c:21:72:60:0f:c1:08:00 SRC=31.13.71.50 DST=*<WANIPAddress>* LEN=88 TOS=00 PREC=0x00 TTL=90 ID=1443 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=443 DPT=37085 SEQ=1187210841 ACK=1457699171 WINDOW=330 ACK URGP=0 MARK=0

In the above, the SRC IP address changes, as do most of the parameters, but the hex digits after the <WANMACAddress> seem to be constant.

I'm not sure what to make of these messages. They seem to regular and infrequent to be scripts probing for vulnerabilities. But I can't figure out what they are. Ideas welcome. Thank you very much, in advance.
