Re: Strange TCP Sweep to 0.0.0.0

We have found the same thing with our Cisco IDS systems. I was able to recreate this 0.0.0.0 bug when I would use Nmap SYN scans to browse through our network. The data was sent into Cisco and I believe they knew it was a bug with their latest update. I have no idea if/when a bug fix will be released :)

Our Cisco Secure IDS (that lives outside the firewall) is picking up
some strange traffic off one of our Netscreen Firewalls.  The Src
addresses are the un-trusted interface addresses assigned to the
Netscreen. Has any one seen something like this before? Is it a bug
or am I seeing something interesting?

What ever it is it is not terribly fast. The dates are inconsistent
in this email but they are actually occurring everyday with similar
frequency.

thanks,
Geoff
