Masses of 529 Errors! Bill Glidden 05-11-2007

I have often seen these errors in the security log at the rate of up to
hundreds in a 24 hour period, but in the last 24 hours I had 107,710 of
them. Is this something I should be worrying about? Obviously the fact that
I know about it means that who/whatever is doing this is unsuccessful. Below
is pasted one of the events:

Event Type: Failure Audit
Event Source: Security

Splash in a botnets activity?

The access is denied, which is a good thing. Filling up the logs is
something to worry about.

Thanks, Svyatoslav.

I am running SBS 2K3 with ISA 2004 behind a firewall/router:

Internet -- router -- SBS/ISA -- local LAN

What can I do about this, please?

Cheers,
Bill

I would analyse traffic coming through the Internet to see if there is a
correlation b/ween connection attempts and the failed logon attempt. I would
also consider implementing a network intrusion detection system (like
Snort -www.snort.org - it's free and runs on Windows) for such monitoring.

Also please post the question to SBS newsgroups.

Thanks again, Svyatoslav.

I posted here because it looked like a security issue to me. I will have a
look at snort.

Cheers,
Bill
