RE: Port 3889 Traffic

[Meidinger Chris <chris.meidinger () badenit de>]

Actually, ms terminal services runs on port 3389. 

I can't think of anything that would use 3889 either. 

notice that on the dshield port report, there are many sources and few
targets.
http://www.dshield.org//port_report.php?port=3889&recax=1&tarax=2&srcax=2&pe
rcent=N&days=40&Redraw=

sounds like concentrated scanning. do you correlate your logs with dshield?
It might be a good idea, to get an idea of what you are seeing compared to
the rest of the internet.

Cheers,

Chris Meidinger
