What's This on My Router Log??????

IronMaidenFan

Hi

I have Virgin Cable BB with a NetGear WNR2000 router with WPA-PSK (TKIP) + WPA2-PSK (AES) security switched on.

I've just gone into my router's log for today and found this entry:-

[DoS Attack: ACK Scan] from source: 149.254.251.10, port 443, Thursday, August 12,2010 10:30:10

I've no idea what this is but the word "attack" worries me - does anybody know what this is?

Thanks

DoS stands for Denial of Service

Brilliant, thanks very much!

I tried to look up the IP address - obviously was looking in the wrong place. :rotfl:

Panic over - thanks again.

Looks like a smartphone attack. If its not yours/know to you send an email to T-mobile with the relevant info.

abuse@t-mobile.co.uk

But don't worry yourself about it. The router blocked it your fine.

We have 2 smartphones on T-Mobile so was this somebody else trying to access the router?

What smartphones do you have so i can help to find your ip. It maybe you have a bad program on the phones.

Right if you download an app called network info. If you have a qr reader (barcode reader) scan below.



Use that to work out your external ip being both 3G connection and wifi.

Then post here. The results.
