Intrusions 02-18-02 13:59pm


A SYN-FIN portscan from Poland, detected by the snort spp_stream preprocessor.

What's going on here is an illegal/abnormal flag combination: you can't have (legitimately..) a SYN flag attempting to establish a tcp connection in the same packet as a FIN (finished) flag.

Purpose? Possibly OS detection by the response returned..
