Re: mystery martian source from 127.0.0.1

Hello everyone,

this matter has been discussed not only once, i found a lot of hits at
google. After reading almost all of them, i still do not know what the
cause is and actually i am very confused.

Some say the traffic is misrouted by the ISP, others think it is a
problem of the firewall NAT rules.

A syslog example:
Dec 06 21:50:58 localhost kernel: martian source 80.219.238.182 from
127.0.0.1, on dev eth0
Dec 06 21:50:58 localhost kernel: ll header:
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:00:09:7b:8d:98:70:08:00

xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is the HWAddr of eth0, the rest of the header
(00:09:7b:8d:98:70:08:00) is absolutly unknown to me.

The reported address contains both the Ethernet source address (00:09:7b:8d:98:70) and the IP protocol identifier (08:00).

Try to find the hardware with the Ethernet address above.
