When ISA lists a packet as "Blocked", that means that it didn't even
respond, something colloquially known as "stealth".  The sending machine is
still ignorant regarding that IP / port combination.

Yes, isalist and isaserver.org are great, but no; I'm not responsible
(nobody saw me, can't prove a thing).  Steven and Tom keep that rolling for
everyone.
Yes, I'm ISA certified (test 70-227).  Now if I can just get the rest of the
tests behind me...  ;-)

Ok, this solved my problem.
I opened ipxxxx.log e I saw the ipÂs below.
there is a field called "filter-rule" near ipÂs with status blocked. I
think that isa server blocked this port scan. Right ?
About isalist, I will include-me again.

Regards.
P.s: Are you responsible for isaserver.org ?
     Are you certificated in isa server ?

Thanks again
Alex

IP...log is a generalization for the Packet Filter log that ISA creates.
This is named IP^*yyymmdd.log, where "^" may be "EXT" if you're using
W3C
format and "*" represents the log turnover periodicity (D, W, M, Y).
ISA is responsible for the event log entry, so ISA did report it.
Don't use the reports for specific incident evaluation; they're very
general.
Let's keep this in the list so everyone can play...

WhatÂs "IP...log" ?
I saw event viewer and ISA reports (traffic utilization, dropped
packets) all.
In event viewer thisÂs reported. In ISA server, not.
I only sent it to you because another user sent the same problem to
isalist, and you answered.

Thank you again !
Alex

Tak a look at your "IP....log" for events with that same date/time
(adjust
for GMT in the log).  That will tell you what was seen that ISA called
an
"attack".
Generally, if ISA reports it, ISA blocked it.

IÂm receiving this message.
Yesterday , I received the same message with this ip: 200.187.233.12.
Today, I received the same messagem with this ip: 200.176.2.85.
I think that message doesnÂt show-me attack properly because We receive
email message through ISA Server.

1. What do you think ?, is this a "Attack" ou no ?
2. Isa server discard this ?

Any idea ?
Help-me please
