DoS attack, Teardrop or derivative, Ping of Death, strange non-DHCP IP address connected to wifi
I'm getting lots of Dos attacks logged in my C3000 modem/router. They appear to be coming from inside my network, from my wifi. I keep seeing a device attached to my wifi with an IP address of 1.1.15...
If you turn off IPv6 on the HP printer the DOS attacks will stop! Both HP and Netgear have a fix for this issue. The patch is in testing now and will be released through your ISP.
Thanks, this worked! The HP printer events stopped. Network seems stable.
I still see suspected teardrop attacks in the logs where both To and From addresses are not on my network. Apparently, the volume of packets (hundreds per log entry) from my HP printer caused the router to reset. The other events have less than 20 packets per log log entry.
