Re: [44net] Security - Telnet (port tcp/23)

It is on our BGP-routed subnet so the traffic is via our own gateway through a direct IPIP tunnel to that system. However, it is not really something to worry about. It attracts about 10-20 kbytes of internet->host traffic per day (the usernames and passwords that I log). Those attackers are trying maybe 10-15 different logons then move on. It is not like they try a list of 100,000 most often use passwords, they probably have the default passwords for some commonly used routers and other IoT devices, in some cases probably only a single one. (the worms that infect one particular device) The unanswered SYN traffic to port 23 is much, much more. Especially before the "allow only registered hosts" filter. We are dropping around 80 Mbyte/day of traffic for our /16 subnet due to the address not being registered, so that would be about 20 GByte/day for amprgw.... Rob
