RE: [FW1] possible port scan?



The thing is that this is the source port.  If the person were doing dns
lookups, the dest port would be 53 not the source.

Anyway, I think I might have figured out the problem.  It's timed-out
backward connections from the other dns server??  Since they no longer
appear on the state table, the firewall drops the packets.

Ciao

UDP port 53 is DNS lookups.  Someone is probably just looking for some
unadvertised DNS info :)

I noticed on my logs today that someone was trying to connect to our
firewall, the ports range from 34 to 37, in random order.  The source
port is udp 53 on all of them.  The packets are getting dropped on the
stealth rule.  What could this be?
