Reading Watchguard Logs

Jul 19, 2006 5 Replies

Silly question....



I'm trying to analyze some of our logs and not sure what to make of the Proto heading.



Date Time Disp. i/f Proto.



07/30/01 11:17:23 deny in eth0 78 udp 20 128

I understand the 'udp' part, but what do the 78, 20 and 128 mean?



Thanks,



FGR



Which WG unit do you have?

My firebox units have a LOT more in the logs and the log viewer has a header that explains the columns.

My columns are as follows: Date Time Disp (deny/allow) Direction (in/out) I/F (interface ETH0:1, ETH0:2, ETH0, ETH1....) Protocol UDP, ICMP, TCP Source IP Dest IP Source Port Dest Port Details (rule that caused the action)

I am running a FB 1000 (or 3) I think I understand everything else, except the '78 udp 20 128' E.g. what does the 78 mean? same for the 20 and 128.

Thanks for the response!

Paste the entire line of the log entry, it appears you're missing something.

You're missing the source/dest IP values in what you've pasted and the "Details" value also.

All my UDP entries show a lot more detail than your.

My Firebox III/1000, II, x700, X1000, etc... all show a lot more detail than you've provided.

What version of the firmware and logging are you running?

The current version is 7.4x

Here it is:

06/21/06 10:12 firewalld[127]: deny in eth2 78 udp 20 128 192.168.0.78 192.168.0.255 137 137 (spoofed source address)

BTW - We are running v7.3.

Thanks!

137 is from typical Windows crap, we always block ports 135 through 139 and 445 between interfaces.

The spoofed could be a couple things:

1) Is your internal network on 192.168.0.0/24? If not, then you've got a rogue NODE someplace in your network. 2) You didn't setup the blocked NAT Config to allow 192.168.0.0/24, default is to not approve 192.168.0.0/16 I think.

....

As for the 78, 20, 128, I don't know what they represent. When I check my logs I don't see things like that anywhere.

Consider posting to the WG WSF groups and asking them.
