Re: how to deal with port scan and brute force attack from AS 8075 ?

I would ignore the portscans since there is nothing wrong with portscanning
the Internet.

Install fail2ban {don't forgot to whitelist your management static IPs}.

You may want to increase the default bantime and findtime {how far back to
search logs}.

Oh and,

I’m assuming you contacted Microsoft’s abuse? If not, it’s not cool,
not to mention unprofessional, to publicly call them out on such a public
forum without giving them an opportunity to correct it first.

Depending on what is on those machines, I would just recommend using
fail2ban. The default is that if an ip address fails ssh auth 3 times in 5
minutes, their ip gets blocked via iptables for 5 minutes. This is enough
to thwart most scripted attacks, especially those from a certain government
in Asia. This is configurable to various applications, timing schemes, and
blocking/jailing mechanisms.

Dear Nanog'er,

We are facing a lot of port scan and brute force attack on port 22
(but
not limited to) from Microsoft AS 8075 range toward our own infra, or
toward our customers.
We have sent email to abuse () microsoft com, but no answer.

source ip are:
NetRange:       40.74.0.0 - 40.125.127.255
CIDR:           40.74.0.0/15, 40.112.0.0/13, 40.124.0.0/16,
40.76.0.0/14, 40.80.0.0/12, 40.125.0.0/17, 40.96.0.0/12,
40.120.0.0/14
NetName:        MSFT



We consider port scan and brute force on ssh port as an attack, and
even
as a pre-DDOS phase (could be use to install botnet, detect unpatched
host, and so one).

It's one thing to propose services and make money over an infra, it's
an
other thing to take care that you clients do not use this infra to
make
illegal stuffs.


How do you deal with such massive amount of 'illegal' traffic ?

Thank,
Best Regards

He are some examples (we have more than 3000 such packets per day just
from them, probably Azure), and source ip is always differents of
course:
