Ummm... I might be missing something here... but, tracing to the original destination address, as indicated in the payload, the source address (of the "attack") comes back with a dest_unreachable... indicating that the route goes through your "attacking" host and that you/it can't get to the ports on the server in-question... (mail.nexusds.com)
Yeah, ICMP dest unreachables could be used by a malicious source to map your network, but... in this case I think (qc.sympatico.ca) might be doing it's job and saying you "can't reach that host on those ports," etc. Do you have something from that host that's trying to connect? Perhaps something trying to "phone home" or the like?Code:traceroute to 205.233.93.249 (205.233.93.249), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets [...] 8 64.125.30.158 84.689 ms 80.973 ms 82.536 ms 9 64.125.12.38 82.477 ms 81.985 ms 84.070 ms 10 206.108.103.121 83.577 ms 82.821 ms 83.219 ms 11 206.108.103.113 91.802 ms 93.423 ms 93.983 ms 12 64.230.242.102 92.680 ms 94.281 ms 94.056 ms 13 64.230.229.10 93.024 ms 92.928 ms 92.665 ms 14 64.230.219.238 94.574 ms !X * 94.844 ms !X
Ever hear of Nexus Data Systems? Perhaps they did a web page or form for you and it's sending mail or data back to them or something...???
Bah... teach me to reply and not read to the end of a thread... yeah, ident would do it. One of the reasons you should always reject/refuse (as compared to drop) identd... thanks to MS for not following yet another standard.
