Dear Community,
We see more and more SSDP 'scan' in our network (coming from outside into our AS). Of course our client have open vulnerables boxes (last one is an enterprise class Synology with all defaults ports open:-)) which could be used as a reflection SSDP client.
As SSDP is used with PnP for local LAN service discovery, we are thinking of:
1) educate our client (take a lot of time) 2) filter incoming SSDP packets (UDP port 1900 at least) in our bgp border
We see option 2 as a good action to remove our autonomous systeme from potential sources of DDOS SSDP source toward the Internet. Of course this might (very few chance) open others problems with clients which use this port as an obfuscation port, but anyhow it would not be a good idea as it is a registered IANA port. We could think of filtering also incoming port 5000 (UPnP), but it is the default port that Synology decide to use (WHY???? so many trojan use this) for the DSM login into the UI.
What do you think ?
Thank, best regards,
