Linux IPTable for a "weird attack"

Post by erie1555 »

Hello,

My server seems to crash from a weird attack, that I've never seen before.
"NET_GetLong: Split packet from 53.80.117.132:25754 with invalid split size (number 99/ count 114) where size 8293 is out of valid range [564 - 1248 ]"

How would I block this with iptables?

I've seen this happen before with certain malformed packets that look like Source server queries but aren't. That specific attack is blocked everywhere we have a router and 10G connection, though, so you can't be seeing the same one.

Do you have a packet capture that was made while the attack was in progress?

The attack seems to occur so fast, that I'm unable to even capture any packets of the actual attack

If you contact us, we can see if it shows in the router logs. You could also keep windump/wireshark running for awhile and try to capture it that way.
