Yesterday was actually our busiest day so far for 1433 scans. We saw
our first presumably automated scan (111 connection attempts, within a
few seconds) on 5/19. Yesterday (5/22) we got three of them, for a
total of 300 or so connection attempts. This in comparison to the 80K -
120K TCP 80 scans we get per day, depending on what day of the month it
is.

Subject: Decrease in 1433 Scans?

Hello

Access attempts to port 1433 have been steady all this week, with tons
of attempts every hour showing up in our firewall log; however, I have
not had a single attempt since 5:43 AM EST (no EDT here in Indiana).

The firewall is still logging and the integrity of my access-list
appears to be fine. I doubt our uplink provider is doing this, as I can
reach the firewall if I attempt to connect to port 1433 with nmap from a
remote system.

Anyone else seeing this?
