I am getting quite a few unusual alerts, and am confused with what I am
seeing.
 
The payload of the packet is:
04 01 00 3B 00 00 01 00 AA 27 00 18 48 00 00 01        ...;....*'..H...

00 00 FD 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00                       ..}........
 
The strange thing is that the source is:
x.x.x.x:1433 (our network)
Destination
x.x.x.x: 2838/random (remote unknown network)
 
This has now happened to two systems, both running mysql on tcp/1433.
It just makes no sense that the source port is 1433.  What am I missing
here?
