I am getting quite a few unusual alerts, and am confused with what I am
seeing.
The payload of the packet is: 04 01 00 3B 00 00 01 00 AA 27 00 18 48 00 00 01 ...;....*'..H... 0E 1B 00 4C 6F 67 69 6E 20 66 61 69 6C 65 64 20 ...Login failed 66 6F 72 20 75 73 65 72 20 27 73 61 27 2E 00 00 for user 'sa'... 00 00 FD 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ..}........ The strange thing is that the source is: x.x.x.x:1433 (our network) Destination x.x.x.x: 2838/random (remote unknown network) This has now happened to two systems, both running mysql on tcp/1433. It just makes no sense that the source port is 1433. What am I missing
here? This is a RESPONSE from your SQL server to the "attacker". It went like this: attacker:2838 "Login SA" -> sql:1433 sql:1433 "Login failed for 'sa'" -> attacker:2838 so: 1) Good thing: They failed to login as sa on your sql box. 2) Bad thing: WHy the heck is your sql port 1433 facing the internet. -steve ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
