asubaseball727 Posted January 20, 2006 CID Share Posted January 20, 2006 I got an alert from kaspersky saying UDP Port Scan by some IP Address with a UDP Protocol. It's the 06' beta so it doesn't describe what it is. Can anyone describe it and help prevent against it?

FallowEarth Posted January 20, 2006 CID Share Posted January 20, 2006 You firewall has blocked the attempt, so that is a good sign. If you have the IP address, look it up at www.arin.net/whois and find the ISP. It will usually supply a contact for customer abuse. I would let them know that somebody from the IP is performing port scans....provide logs from your firewall and as much other info as possible. This should be brought to their attention.

asubaseball727 Posted January 20, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 20, 2006 Well the IP, 68.87.x.x someone in NJ. I sent an E-mail to Comcast, so what was the point of him trying to run a UDP Port scan? How did he find my computer to try and hack into? Thanks P.S Fallow, any idea from the PM? <edit> I hid the IP as a courtesy to that person Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/10643-udp-port-scan/#findComment-111391 Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallowEarth Posted January 20, 2006 CID Share Posted January 20, 2006 This person probably did not target you specifically....probably just grabbed your IP block and scanned the whole thing. Sometimes, if a person's computer has been hacked, it will become a host for hacking activity, even though the owner of that computer (and IP address) does not know. So somebody may have run a port scan from that computer remotely. Who knows...but it should still be reported.

resopalrabotnick Posted January 20, 2006 CID Share Posted January 20, 2006 should be reported. if only to alert the guy that he has a comp that is part of a botnet. the isp should just give him a headsup and monitor him to see if he is actively doing it or not. (of course, if the comp is a zombie, it's hard to tell the difference. open any e-mail attachments lately? ) Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/10643-udp-port-scan/#findComment-111398 Share on other sites More sharing options...
