Re: UDP Traceroutes?

Yes, sorry, forgot to mention that.  TTL=1.  Could this be similar to
firewalk?  But why look for UDP ports between 90 and 111.  Any vulnerable
services there?

Hi Gary,
Do you see ttl values=1 in the IP headers to imply that this is a
traceroute-like scan?  The fact that the dest ports are
incrementing looks
more like a port scan than a traceroute.

Hello,

In the last few days i've noticed a few interesting anomailes
which look
like they could be a particular breed of traceroute, but I
didn't want to
just discount them as that.  Traceroute's default destination
is port UDP
33434 increasing by one with every packet sent.  I've been
seeing various
sources tracerouting to me with destination ports below 111 and always
terminating at 111.  They usually reach me with dest port
somewhere in the
90's and always increase till 111 (UDP).  The sources are
128.9.160.210,
141.213.10.128, 192.88.114.82, 193.10.66.138.  See below:
