Hello, In our IPS log I see the following entry *TCP C2S Ambiguity: Data in SYN Packet* daily directed towards our DNS server. These packets are coming from four or so different addresses in China. I did a brief Google search with results being a few or more years old. A couple of the posts reported the same *Data in SYN Packet* with the originating addresses also from China. Can anybody shed light on this? Thank you very much.
Could be 3DNS software for measuring DNS response time to find quickest response to web requests, ususally measured from several systems.
