Configuring UDP Port Scan Attack Screen

This topic describes how to configure detection of a UDP port scan attack.

These attacks scan the target IP addresses for open, listening, or responsive services by targeting multiple protocols or ports on one or more target IP address using obvious (sequentially numbered) patterns of the target protocol or port numbers. The patterns are derived by randomizing the protocol or port numbers and randomizing the time delays between the transmissions.

To enable detection of a UDP port scan attack:

  1. Configure interfaces and assign an IP address to interfaces.
  2. Configure security zones trustZone and untrustZone and assign interfaces to them.
  3. Configure security policies from untrustZone to trustZone.
  4. Configure security screens and attach them to untrustZone.
  5. Configure syslog.
  6. Commit the configuration.
