Here you go: From: Chris Reynolds [mailto:chris () ideacatchers com] Sent: Friday, December 07, 2001 2:53 PM To: Intrusions List (E-mail) Subject: Wanadoo.fr Scans Hi all, Good news on the Wanadoo.fr front! Their upstream provider, Opentransit is now aware of the scope of the scanning activity from Wanadoo.fr network space and they have requested a list of source IPs involved in scanning and/or attacks. Opentransit has said that they will be escalating this issue with Wanadoo.fr management, and they need some data to go with it. Please forward any IDS or server logs showing Wanadoo.fr activity - the more source IPs we send them, the easier it will be for them to enact some positive change at Wanadoo.fr. We should be able to get this wrapped up very soon! Thanks, On Mon, 17 Dec 2001, Paul Asadoorian wrote:
We too have seen the exact same traffic here. Not sure what to do about it, too bad there wasn't an "Ftp blacklist" sorta the same thing that exists for mail. It may prove useful if the ISP suddenly realizes that half of their address space is being blocked on numerous routers across the Internet.

I even put up an FTP server on one box toseewhat would happen if port 21 was open, it attempted to login as anonymous but I didn't let it go any further. I have made many attempts to contact Wanadoo regarding this. I have sent them logs and friendly messages asking if there is anything I can do tohelpor if they would like more information. Despite sending at least 5messagesover the last several weeks, I have never received any response at all. I have started gathering IPs and just blocking the networks as wanadooseemsto be a french ISP with nothing of interest to any our our offices. but obviously I'd like to be as specific as possible when passing out null routes. My questions, has anyone else noticed this? I am almost certain others have. But more importantly, is there an easy way for me to find out allthenetworks that belong to wanadoo so I can just block them all rather than waiting for a connection from a host in each network? Sorry if that's a dumb question, i am kind of new to this. (many thanks to this list! ihavelearned alot!) Oh, and am I over reacting here? I know these probeshappenall the time, but when they happen at all 20+ of our sites coming from the same network for several weeks... ? -aaron ----------------------------------------------------------------------------This list is provided by the SecurityFocus ARIS analyzer service.
