Re: SQL Slammer Variant?

Aaron,

If you're pretty sure that the traffic is originating internally and is spoofed, here are a couple of things you could do:

  • If you have internal routers, add source address spoofing filters to each of their interfaces. You could turn on logging for matches based on that rule and at least narrow down which of your networks this is coming from. This is a good thing to have in any event. People on your internal network shouldn't be sending spoofed packets.
  • If you don't have internal routers and you've got just one big switched network, then the source MAC address of the spoofed packets should hopefully be in the packet captures of your IDS logs. Use this information in combination with your switch management tools to figure out where the traffic is coming from.

HTH,
