Hi Bill, It really is this simple - if ISA warned you, it blocked it. If you want to have a bit if fun, you can track him to the ISP and report him to (usually) abuse@<isp.com>. Remember to include your log entries that show him scanning you. ------------------------------------------------------- Jim Harrison MCP(NT4, W2K), A+, Network+, PCG http://isaserver.org/Jim_Harrison/ http://isatools.org Read the help / books / articles! ------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: William Robertson [mailto:william.robertson@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, July 23, 2005 12:48 To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] Best approach to eradicate attacks? http://www.ISAserver.org I know the subject sounds a bit dubious... but I thought I'd ask some opinion here... When getting thousands of these alerts: ISA Server name: <FIREWALL> ISA Server detected an all port scan attack from Internet Protocol (IP) address 130.239.18.137. I know that this little w@nk3r from Amsterdam is trying to attack me on TCP 21, because I have a Server Publishing rule allowing only 1 specific IP address in on TCP21. Question is, am I really safe against this guy? Surely if he knows I've got TCP21 open, he can just spoof enough TCP/IP Source Headers until he guesses the correct one and my firewall lets him in?? Is there anything else I should be doing in order to secure myself?
