Does anybody know what port 18457 inbound is used for ?
Reason I'm asking is because as soon as I got internet access today, I
was flooded with dozens of hits on port 18457 every minute, from around
the world, using dozens of different ports.
As a matter of habit, i usually double-click the dual-monitor icon for
my ISP on the right side of the task bar, or the balloon, when the
balloon pops up indicating the internet connection is established. This
time is when I noticed a flood of incoming Kbytes.
No damage done. I'm just curious if anybody knows what this attack is
about, or what application is the target. After logging off, and
logging back on, now there is no such attack.
Thanks in advance you guys. I often follow along here, learn new stuff,
try to contribute simple suggestions to simple questions sometimes, and
rarely post a question. You all have a safe and happy St Patrick's Day
tomorrow.
