Since a few days, Logcheck sometimes e-mails me the following warning: Jun 4 07:30:54 MyMail kernel: UDP: short packet: 24.5.180.234:10030 2167/119 to 192.168.1.2:10768
I'm not really interested in what these packets are for (I guess some kind of worm/DoS related packets), but I'm more interested in the source of the packets: 24.5.180.234 is *outside* my network. This Linux machine is located behind a hardware router with build-in SPI firewall (Linksys WRT54G, in case you're interested). It should prevent unwanted packets to uninteresting ports to enter my network. I've just double-checked the port-forwarding section and packets to 10768 or 10030 are definitely NOT forwarded. Can anybody explain what is going on here? Thanks, -- Matthijs [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
