Re: IPs From China
Scans on the ephemeral ports beginning with 1025 are almost as common as scans of port 445. Unless you are really getting hammered (hundreds of scans per minute), it is just normal internet background noise and nothing to worry about since your firewall is blocking it.
My network typically receives hundreds of such scans daily, and thousands of port 445 scans. Many thanks to Bill Gates et al for exposing DCOM and SMB protocols to the world by default and making them such tempting targets for the evil dooers.
