Why am I being attacked on port 3060? I am
suddenly getting hammered with all kinds of
connect attempts on port 3060? What is on
port 3060 they are looking for? Tiny Firewall
alerted me to connect attempts on that
port and I was able to block it. Score another
one for Tiny Firewall. Those of you with
hardware appliances are probably being
probed on port 3060 right now, and you
would not know it, if it were not for this
post. Better keep an eye on inbound
port 3060. Somebody is trying to do
who-knows-what on that port.

Nope, nothing there. 1032 TCP port probes since yesterday, and not a single
one to that port. Could it be that you have someone on the *inside* running
a service that expects return traffic to port 3060, which is blocked?
Prime candidates for something like this happening include file sharing
programs.

Connection attempts are not an attack.

Borland database stuff.

Interbase/Firebird SQL server.

Unless you run one of the mentioned SQL servers on that port your TCP/IP
stack woukld have done exactely the same.

Complete nonsense.

You probably got the IP someone had before who was running one of the
mentioned SQL servers and are simply getting legitimate connection attempts
on the IP the SQL server had before it disconnected, nothing to worry
about, but a typical phenomen when people run servers on dynamic IP
addresses.
