DDOS: Mstream Client to Handler on TCP/12754
This signature detects the command string ">" in a TCP packet to port 12754 with the ACK and PUSH flags set. This can indicate that a Mstream client is attempting to communicate with a Mstream handler. Attackers can use Mstream, a denial-of-service (DoS) attack tool, to flood IP addresses with TCP ACK packets from forged source addresses.
