How to locate the IP that's been banging on our web server in the wee hours once every 2-3 days?
About a week ago, I began receiving "Limiting closed port rst response from 261 to 200 packets per second" messages in top and /var/log /messages that appeared (mostly) early in the morning. As I understand it, these alerts are simply telling me that BSD's doing its job. Still, I'd like to find and eliminate whoever it is that's banging on ports.
Based on recommendations I've read on other threads, I've been running tcpdump for the past coupla days, but not seeing anything obvious. To be honest, I'm not sure what I'm looking for?
Any suggestions on how to identify the offending IP so I can block them?
Thanks in advance.
