--
Sid:
245

--
Summary:
This event is generated when an mstream handler attempts to identify active agents.

--
Impact:
Severe. If the listed source IP is in your network, it may be an mstream handler.  If the listed destination IP is in your network, it may be an mstream agent.

--
Detailed Information:
The mstream DDoS uses a tiered structure of compromised hosts to coordinate and participate in a distributed denial of service attack.  There are "handler" hosts that are used to coordinate the attacks and "agent" hosts that launch the attack.  A handler can probe to see if an agent is active by sending it a UDP packet to destination port 10498 with a string of "ping" in the payload. 

--
Affected Systems:
Any mstream compromised host.

--
Attack Scenarios:
A mstream handler may probe to see if an agent is active.

--
Ease of Attack:
Simple. mstream code is freely available.

--
False Positives:
None Known.

--
False Negatives:
There are other known handler-to-agent ports in addition to  10498.

--
Corrective Action:
Perform proper forensic analysis on the suspected compromised host to discover the means of compromise.

Rebuild a confirmed compromised host.

Use a packet-filtering firewall to block inappropriate traffic to the network to prevent hosts from being compromised.
