Hi everyone, On a few occasions I get firewall log entries that look something like this: ipfw: 59000 Deny TCP 210.205.2.50:49088 255.255.255.255:80 My question is how does this happen? I mean I know 255.255.255.255 is the network broadcast but how did I receive this entry? Does it mean the source (210.205.2.50) scanned the entire class C network and the router abbreviated the entry as destination 255.255.255.255 or is this a FreeBSD logging abreviation for a range of ip's? (the entire network). Any thoughts would be sincerely appreciated ...
