RE: Unusual proxy port scan

From: "Bill Royds" <email () royds net>

I have received some feedback on this message.
Port 3389 is used by Microsoft Terminal Server and 1813 is used by Radius (normally as UDP)

The combination with other proxy ports would indicate that there may be an exploit of Microsoft ISA server which uses 
all of these ports and is often used as a firewall/cache proxy. 

The source IP for these probes is owned by Intel, so it seemed unlikely that it was a script kiddie, but  an exploit 
worm for ISA/Terminal Server seems a possibility. There have been recent problems with some RADIUS software 

I also received more proxy scans this morning with 2 separate IP's scanning for same ports in a fast scan. Have others 
found this in their IDS/firewall logs? (times are EDT UTC-400)

Subject: Unusual proxy port scan


My home cable modem with switch recorded this interesting scan this afternoon (times EDT).
I know about 8080 and 3128 (SQUID proxy ports) but what are 3389 and 1813, especially since there was a bigger push on 
1813
