Hi
Can anyone give me any advice regarding this excerpt from my smoothwall IDS
log please?
I've got a fairly common set up : ADSL router - smoothwall - switch to LAN

10.0.0.2 is the address of my router & 10.0.0.5 the address of my smoothwall
box. Have I read it correctly - has my smoothwall box been compromised &
used for an "OVERSIZE REQUEST-URI DIRECTORY" attack on IP 67.15.2.10:80
Or did I read it wrong?
I've noticed over the last few days that there's been a worryingly regular
flash of activity from the ADSL router RXD light but it wasn't until
yesterday that smoothwall logs showed this sort of activity.
Here's the last three entries from yesterdays IDS log :

Yesterdays firewall log also showed two attempts at access blocked from
213.232.80.150 which turns out to be image.ebuyer.com - maybe spoofed?
Any advice would be appreciated - all updates are installed on the smoothwall
box. This morning I installed DShield smoothwall mod too -
http://community.smoothwall.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6351
It'd be a real pain to have to re-install but what the hell, is that my best
plan of action? I didn't think I had a problem as my switch wasn't showing
activity between the ADSL router & smoothwall but maybe the router was
compromised first & now smoothwall is too?
cheers
