Thread: Spoof Attack

  1. #1

    Question Spoof Attack

    I was checking my SonicWall log, and this turned up:

    05/03/2004 18:07:28.048 FTP: PASV response spoof attack dropped
    Source: 192.165.218.22, 21, WAN
    Destination: 192.168.1.33, 3443, LAN

    So what appears to be going on here? Is someone trying to spoof me?

    is just ur firewall alerting u that an attack was detect and defeated. i advise u to ignore, since there are tons of attacks per second and its is impossible to seek out each one (except maybe is it is reocurring)

    Here is a great resource. Should answer all of your questions.

    Don't fret unless you can put it together with other attacks, false positives are a dime a dozen.
    Mankind have a great aversion to intellectual labor; but even supposing knowledge to be easily attainable, more people would be content to be ignorant than would take even a little trouble to acquire it.

    Thanks InfoTech, that's exactly what I needed.

    Well, it turns out it was our other tech guru who was the FTP that was blocked out, so all is well. That was a good lesson in log analysis nonetheless.
