I just noticed that my syslog, kern log & ufw log have similar enteries, all are filled with blocking IP addresses, here I am only putting some lines from syslog. Can anyone tell what kind of activity is going on here ? Is some one trying to access server without permission ?

logs are keep on filling, just to put some of the ip addresses in SRC from logs:

116.102.232.245
78.189.90.35
184.105.247.211
85.96.174.23
91.200.12.123
116.5.103.204
209.126.120
180.97.239.30
62.38.251.88
119.82.252.71
184.105.139.78
46.43.111.187
1.53.1.9
116.102.232.245
207.244.70.169
139.162.32.199
81.17.21.218
59.94.217.136
187.22.126.42
95.77.132.106

DPT varies from 23, 53413 , 523 , 1433 , 5060, 3306 , 2425 1080 etc. 23 & 53413 are most repeatedly appearing in the logs.

Welcome to Internet !!

That is someone is DDOS-ing to your IP address on various ports and trying to find an insecured port they can leverage. From the logs i can see various IP addresses with various ports e.g. 17 (qotd), 23 (telnet), 69 (tftp) and probably many more.

Good thing is, all the attacks are being blocked by the firewall, at least it is clear from the chunk you have provided. Make sure by going through the logs in full.

If you do not have any unnecessary service running, and all the running services are secured properly, you have nothing much to worry. This is normal in todays world, most of the days i get them too.

Also note that, its a good idea to ensure rate limiting by using something like fail2ban. At least, make sure that the native security measures for all the services are in place.

  • thanks @heemayl, I knew my website is few days old so it can't be people ;) . I just googled what DDOS is , 'll further find some steps to protect against DDOS attack.
