Suspicious ICMP traces

Hello. I'm interested in finding out what this packet trace might represent. I've done some reading on the subject and this looks like some kind of ICMP tunnel to me. Specifically, I'm worrried that this might be a Loki type tunnel. I'm not really sure so I thought I'd pass this along for second opinions. One thing that raised my suspicions was that the ICMP packet seems to contain a UDP datagram within it. (Or am I jumping the gun on that?) So, here is the relevant portion of alert: [**] [1:485:1] ICMP Destination Unreachable (Communication Administratively Prohibited) [**] 10/21-20:21:24.622037 12.125.63.42 -> 192.168.75.7 ICMP TTL:246 TOS:0x0 ID:64752 IpLen:20 DgmLen:56 Type:3 Code:13 DESTINATION UNREACHABLE: PACKET FILTERED ** ORIGINAL DATAGRAM DUMP: 192.168.75.7:137 -> 216.73.128.3:137 UDP TTL:112 TOS:0x0 ID:50100 IpLen:20 DgmLen:96 Len: 76 ** END OF DUMP I've got maybe 10,000 of these over a few day period. I'm also seeing portscans from 192.168.75.7 so I'm pretty sure something is not right here. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Demetri Mouratis dmourati () linfactory com _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users
