Sorry for sending this directly to you, but my posts to the list do not seem
to go through. Here is what I have from the wanadoo.fr domain. This is from
2 servers;

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,

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.

hello,

for some time (weeks if not months) several of our remote offices have
been
logging connects attempts to port 21 from various ips that resolve to
(something).wanadoo.fr.  since we have firewalls on many different
networks
from several providers all logging these attempts, i'm fairly sure this
is
a
script randomly scanning ips.  I even put up an FTP server on one box to
see
what 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 to
help
or if they would like more information.  Despite sending at least 5
messages
over the last several weeks, I have never received any response at all.

I have started gathering IPs and just blocking the networks as wanadoo
seems
to 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 all
the
networks 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! i
have
learned alot!)  Oh, and am I over reacting here?  I know these probes
happen
all the time, but when they happen at all 20+ of our sites coming from
the
same network for several weeks...  ?

-aaron
