Disturbing Traffic from ASA

baskervi

Level 1

We have an ASA that has a private IP on the outside interface (10.10.50.2), and it's NATed to a public IP at the Internet router. While troubleshooting a problem, we looked at the NAT translations at the Internet router and saw the following for the ASA:

tcp x.x.x.251:443    10.10.50.2:443        68.12.177.70:59888    68.12.177.70:59888
tcp x.x.x.251:443    10.10.50.2:443        68.97.191.176:58769   68.97.191.176:58769
tcp x.x.x.251:443    10.10.50.2:443        72.215.13.144:1660    72.215.13.144:1660
udp x.x.x.251:443    10.10.50.2:443        68.97.191.176:63761   68.97.191.176:63761
tcp x.x.x.251:25941  10.10.50.2:25941      64.111.111.113:80     64.111.111.113:80
tcp x.x.x.251:27288  10.10.50.2:27288      69.25.100.185:1973    69.25.100.185:1973
tcp x.x.x.251:39315  10.10.50.2:39315      69.25.100.186:1973    69.25.100.186:1973

tcp x.x.x.251:57384  10.10.50.2:57384      64.111.111.113:80     64.111.111.113:80
tcp x.x.x.251:60003  10.10.50.2:60003      64.111.111.113:80     64.111.111.113:80
tcp x.x.x.251:60623  10.10.50.2:60623      69.25.100.185:1973    69.25.100.185:1973
tcp x.x.x.251:63408  10.10.50.2:63408      69.25.100.186:1973    69.25.100.186:1973

The ASA accepts SSL VPN connections, so traffic to 443 on the ASA is understandable. However, no outbound traffic is NATed to the outside Interface of the ASA, so I was surprised to see traffic from the ASA to a few different public IPs on ports 80 and 1973. Does anyone know what these might be for? Thanks

Hi,

I would recommend checking the connection information from the ASA device simultaneously using this command:- show conn all and then finding the IP addresses which it seems to be creating the connections to.

Do you have any Botnet filter enabled ?

Thanks and Regards,

I'll have to check on this periodically. Right now, the only connections shown are my ssh and a handful of SSL VPN connections. Thanks for the assistance.
