Re: Norton Internet Security Problem!
This appears to be a smurf type of attack. Somebody on your local segment is sending this packet with the intent of using your machine to amplify the attack and cause a denial of service to your segment or some machine on your segment.
To figure out who it is you'd have to use a packet sniffer to get the ethernet address associated with the offending packet and associate that with an Internet address. Reporting the ethernet address alone to your ISP should be sufficient to track this person down.
Edit: fixed a bone-headed wording mistake. |
