Subject: [fw-wiz] Incessant port 80 connections


Over the last few days at a site I manage someone has decided to
start sending incessant connection attempts on port 80 to an internal
workstation. (there are a few hosts that stay on 24x7 but they get
none of this)  I've done virus/trojan scans and nothing looks out of
place.

It almost looks like a DDoS-type of attack in that there are
connections every minute or two from various random (but usually
resolvable) IP addresses on various ports, but all ending up at the
same destination IP on port 80.  However the firewall logs imply that
the connections aren't heavy enough to really be a DoS attack, they
just keep going on-and-on. (continually since Friday now)

If this machine had a hostname that sounded like a webserver or
something it might make some sense, but it doesn't.  Is there some
common profile to this kind of event that is escaping me?  If it
weren't for the fact the sources appear spoofed and it fills up my
logs every day, I'd probably ignore it.

TIA,

Phil
