I've seen a lot of slow pop2 scans.  Very quiet and hardly seen if you don't
go out and look for it.  These scans are always about 20 mins apart, and
don't always cover a complete C address range.

Regards,

Miles.

Hi,

here are the traces of a slow scan which is currently
investigating our net.

About every 20 Minutes the next adress in a class-C
net ist tested, but we see the same method in the whole
the class-B net.

So my automatic classification based on a 10-minute summary
fails to label this a portscan, but the access is noticed
anyway ...

**  Access   ** May 21 21:47:13 - May 21 21:47:13:
204.196.156.4 (borge.desoto.k12.la.us) 1 tries to
137.226.X.2 - 137.226.X.2 (1), Proto: TCP, Ports: pop2
**  Access   ** May 21 22:08:55 - May 21 22:08:55:
204.196.156.4 (borge.desoto.k12.la.us) 1 tries to
137.226.X.3 - 137.226.X.3 (1), Proto: TCP, Ports: pop2

and so on and on ...

Bye, Jens
