Actually a little surprised to see port 25 blocked in both directions here along with 1080. It’s like saying here’s your network buuuuut it’s limited.Though I wouldn’t recommend spawning up 25 it’s still a legitimately used port today as alike with 1080.

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,
