Sam spade?

[Learnin]

Hello all: I appear to have just been scanned on several high number ports (2200's). I did a trace with sam spade and found many "bogus rDNS, host not found, authoritive". What is this?

[MrLinus]

It just means that Sam Spade can't get back any RDNS value (sometimes this is found with DHCP addys). IIRC, some of the DNS turned this off to Sam Spade because of the amount of traffic generated (for some reason this sticks in my head). Overall, you should be able to figure out the source anyways based on the FQDN since it usually gives you an indication of source.

This is telling you that there is no DNS record for the IP address you provided to SamSpade. Can you provide the IP address? I'm *sure* the myself and others can give you a little more info if we have the addy.

Thanks so far. Here is what zone alarm is tellin me.
1. IP=64.124.83.125.80
2. address=ak.bluestreak.com
3. Scanned a lot of the ports in the mid 2200 range. (ie: 2259, 2249,2256 and others in this range)

When I did a google on the ak.bluestreak.com i got a did not find? If I do an ak.bluestreak I get a whole lotta wierd replys? (Remeber I am new to all of this) Not straight forward google reply's, if this makes any sense?
I also got several scanns from another IP 209.8.166.168.80.akamai.com?
Spyware? Skriptkiddies? Worm? Thanks in advance. learnin...

That IP addy is too long, I don't think that last 80 should be there.. that's a port isn't it?
