Re: Strange Connection Attempts

[Charles Hamby <fixer () gci net>]

I've been seeing 17300 scans from many places outside of Asia, actually.
I just had one today that I traced back to somewhere around LA, so they
definitely are getting to other time zones, I've been seeing scans from
Comcast, AT&T, and a couple of others.  But, as you say, in all of the
packets I've captured, none of them have any payload.  It's a little
odd.

I also saw the 17300 (which is the port Kuang 2 the virus runs on).  But
they were all coming from Asia (about 0800 their time) and never
progressed.
I was thinking it was a launch attempt on the 14th but no other TZs
showed
up.

My feeling is if these are all 0-byte length probes they aren't doing
much.
Just ensure these ports / services are set to drop the connections
