Once on the 26th and 8 times today we received packets from 127.0.0.1:80
to an ephemeral port on one of our WAN IPs. The one on the 26th was
odd, but the ones today were very similar. They came in pairs, usually
about 10 minutes apart for each packet in the pair. The pairs were
about 1 hour apart.
The TTLs are all 121 which I make for a Windows box about 7 hops away.
The packets today all looked almost identical to the one at the end of
this message. The only differences are the ID field and the ephemeral
port the packet went to. They all have the RST/ACK flags set. I
checked a few of them, and there was no other traffic to/from that port
anywhere near the time the bogus packets came in.
I'm going to be checking in the morning to see what my firewall would do
with these sorts of packets, hopefully it is just throwing them away.
Any ideas on what this is about? Some sort of recon, or other precursor
to something I won't like?
