I was wondering if anyone had some example syslogs where a port scan was detected?
Sure....for this example i have portscanned my computer from a remote machine, and this is what my firewall logs tell me ;)

This is just a short copy/paste from my logs, the real logs were like 10 pages long, but it should be enough for you too get the idea. My firewall is set to "drop" all icmp packets, so in this situation, my firewall shows me that it has dropped the packets comming from 192.168.20.11 , to my computer on 192.168.20.17 . it also tells me on which interface the attack came in on (eth0 - etherenet card 1) aswell as the infformation that it was a SYN scan (the attack wished to synchronize with me, thats part of the 3 way handshake, syn, ack, fin), along with the time and date. Also i forgot to mention, the DPT= are the destination ports it tried to scan. So this info is enough for me to tell that i have been portscanned.
Hope this helps you.
Cheers.
I'm assuming the DPT means destination port?? If so.. how come the ports seem to go like.. 50, 51,52,53,54 and then skip... Doesn't the port scan go through all the ports in order???
OH and thank you for your reply.
That depends on how you scan. I usually scan interesting ports first, and not just from 1 - whatever. Or i use random port scans, which just scans randomly. That depends on the person who is scanning. And yes, DPT means destination ports. I did not post the entire logfile results (10 pages in like 30 seconds). Its just 1 page that i copied/pasted.
Cheers.
not to butt into the conversation here, but a skilled attacker will scan politely and in small spaced out intervals (possibly from multiple machines, or flooded with spoofs)... maybe some one could explain some techniques on how to discover/find these kinds of scans (those with a bit more thought put into them) ??? just a thought. anyway-
[edit]
example: like with a spoofed scan, you could count the hops (try and match up the real IP, against all the spoofed ones, etc...)
[/edit]
-take it easy :)
Yeah Tampa - :cool: a scan in series like that would set off alarms. A skilled hacker will use small steps as you mentioned about will occur:
· perform simple ping tests to tell whether a remote computer is alive
· resolve hostnames into IP addresses and reverse lookup IP addresses into hostnames
· attempt to connect to other computers on a TCP network to see what services they are running
· read responses from connected hosts
· scan from a range of addresses and ports
· scan from a list of ports
· scan from selected ports from a list
Attacks may vary to DDOS [read - sites like www.grc.com] Grc links will explain what each ports are used for from netbios to Sub7 ports to DoomsDay.
Peace :cool:
I'm not sure how to ask this w/o looking like a dweeb.. but I'm a newbie to the security world so I think I'll risk it...
What would I look for when looking for a port scan in Unix environment that uses Cisco routers...
how would my syslog look during a portscan? Would I just see denies from a certain IP address because of the ACL's??? Would it use a certain protocol(UDP or TCP)?
Thanks in advance.....
