RE: Unusual proxy port scan

One small clarification here..

Other than TCP-80 for inbound web requests, ISA doesn't "own" any ports
on the external interface that aren't intentionally defined.
Specifically, ISA doesn't allow web proxy requests on the external
interface unless the operator chooses to publish the internal proxy
listener to the Internet (not a smart move anyway).

The burden of proof is not satisfied by a lack of evidence to the
contrary..

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)

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
