TCP Syn Host sweep from Pix pool addresses

community

Level 1

I am recieving 3030 TCP SYN Host sweep alarms on my IDS4210 v3.1-2-S29 originating from several of my outside addresses. The pix detects no connections are being nated to those address from inside and my internal sensor picks up no sweep signatures. Is it possible to spoof my addresses to perform Sweeps? or am I recieving false alarms.

It's probably real sweeps on your address range based on the traffic that is coming out of the PIX (spoofing making assumptions). It couldn't hurt to sniff the outside wire to see what's really going on there. Have you talked to your Cisco tac rep yet?
