unknown messages
i was just wondering what this message means that i am receiving on my Mandrake 8.1 machine
It would be great if anyone could answer this question auditin=ppp0 out= mac= src=147.102.35.52 dst=61.9.133.9 len=40 tos=0*00 prec=0*00 id=39426 proto=tcp spt=21 window=1028 res=0*00 syn fin urgp=0 it would be really cool if someone could break down this message as i am receiving it about every 6 or so hours and i am not sure what is exactly going on..thanks |
Are you running a firewall of some kind? This looks like a message that would be logging either an error or an attack.
auditin=ppp0 device being audited? out= mac= src=147.102.35.52 source ip of the message dst=61.9.133.9 destination of the msg (one of these is probably your ip address) len=40 length of message tos=0*00 prec=0*00 id=39426 proto=tcp tcp message spt=21 port 21 (ftp)? window=1028 res=0*00 syn fin urgp=0 My best guess would be that someone at "src" is trying to ftp to "dst". I've seen this on cable/dsl ISPs where they attempt to find out if their users are running "illegal" servers of any kind. By the way 147.102.35.52 is thais.cs.ece.ntua.gr and 61.9.133.9 is CPE-61-9-133-9.vic.bigpond.net.au |
yeah, someone's trying to telnet (or atleast get in via the telnet port) into your machine. but you've not got telnet enable, so that's fine.
