It would be best if you could actually get a dump of the packets with
something like tcp or win dump. 255.255.255.255 is obviously a
broadcast address. I would guess it is some kind program or service
running that is broadcasting. What programs are running the machine
when it does this? What software is loaded on it?

Leon

Subject: Port Scan(?)

The incidents@securityfocus.com owner rejected this
post so can anyone here make sense of this?

On my 10.1.2.0/24 network, I discovered (with
Ethereal) that one of my hosts (10.1.2.112) was
broadcasting UDP packets to 255.255.255.255 to port
62516.
The *source port* though was incrementing by one after
every packet. That host machine is running Windows
2000.

Anyone know what kind of activity this is? It seems
the opposite of a port scan and it is inside my
private network. I know which machine it is, I just
can't figure out what it was doing so I disconnected
it from the network until I figure it out.

Thanks,

AH
