We've noticed a sudden influx of tcp 515 printer port scans over the last month on nearly all of our boxes (different sites, different isps) We *do* have a *really* good HP colour laserjet, I guess the word got out.
Hmm, guess our printers must look tasty as well. We got hit by 3 different attackers today, all looking for port 515 on random IP's. A total of about 60,000 probes launched towards all of our class B network. Is this beginning to look a bit worrying? -- Vangelis Haniotakis - Network & Communications Centre, University of Crete ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus ARIS analyzer service.
