Re: [suse-security] weird request from port 53 to 2049

This all points to the name server at you ISP being "owned"
by a hacker. Many, many hacker tools (including port scanners
like nmap) have the option to attack with a source port of 53.

I would ask your ISP to stop attacking you network and see what
they say :-)

No there is no nfs server running on that pc on the other hand I have
checked my logs and found that 212.156.4.20 (nameserver of my ISP) had
made requests to port 137 which were also denied by IPCHAINS.

So if there is an err; is it on my side (ie firewall configuration )or at the ISP
side ?
