  • 1.  UDP Port Scan Detection

    Posted Jul 27, 2015 02:04 PM

    Hi There

    Just wanted to find out if customers or partners are picking up several port scans (UDP Ports specifically) , triggered from SEP IPS and source of attack mostly the domain controllers?

    The concern I have is I do not want to exclude them as it may be an indication the domain controller has been compromised and I know the customer has been heavily infected with Backdoor malware (Houdini variant) - Backdoor VBS Dunihi

    I have tried to research if Domain Controller would try connect to machines UDP ephemeral port ranges for any reason and can not find anything saying this is normal behavior?

    Also should I then create a rule to block these port scans? Port seems to change?

    Don't know if anyone else is experiencing this?

    Haven't seen something like this but you should investigate further. Not sure why it would connect over high random ports.

    We are seeing this occur as well.

    Is it possible that the client PC is initiating communication with the DC and the DC is responding to the client on an ephemeral port.

    If it finds the port closed, it hops to another one.  

    According to what I've read if 4 or more ports are accessed in less than 200 seconds it gets flagged as a port scan.

    I'm guessing.
