Please teach me how to read port scan messages

Post by jp1981 »

Hi

I am having a hard time figuring out what ports are being scanned. The below block is in fact from a hosting client and the temp blocks stop him from downloading mail.

Can someone please let me know what blocks are being scanned below so I can help the client to resolve this.

Thanks :)

SPT=64348 DPT=26 are for the ports.

SPT = Source Port, the port the incoming packet has been sent from.
DPT = Destination Port, the server port the packet is aimed at.
