Re: UDP Alerts

[Matt Kettler <mkettler () evi-inc com>]

I have not seen IM's or streaming media sources trigger this signature yet, 
but I've seen some old, strange and/or misconfigured DNS servers do this. 
It seems at one point in history (long, long, ago) DNS servers used port 0 
in addition to port 53..  I'll definitely keep an eye out for this newer 
source of triggering..


For those who want more details about the packets I saw they were 
(some_outside_dns):53 -> (my_local_dns):0 UDP with a body containing a 
valid DNS query response.
