Actually the question mark is fraudulent. My gateway/firewall machine
has been under what appears to be a DDOS attack. A persistent,
continuous attack from several system directed at UDP port 16252. It
appears to be related to a CISCO RTR/SAA attack.
What I am interested in knowing if anyone else has experienced a
similar attack? The only thing I can think may have triggered this
was a report to a net administrator that his system might have been
compromised. A few hours later this seeming attack started.
No good deed goes unpunished. Before I retired I did some security work
for an employer. You would think I would've learned about sending email
alerts to admins of compromised systems. Retire and a few years later
you finds yourself violating the best practices. I will call the guy
tomorrow.
Feeling stupid.
