Attack? Scans from unknown IP on router

We have several 'attack events' coming in from IP addresses we are not familiar with and wanted to know what the protocol is. It doesn't look like these attacks are happening more than one occasion.

damn john killin it! thanks and have a great weekend my friend
bosshog!
likely these IP is compromised or taken over by some sort of bot master to direct and launch "attack" on their target. taking the snapshot of a single ip from each range, you can see that at least three of them fall into SPAM or Block blacklist (look out for the "cross" in each). Better to check the specific log in your FW and IPS to see if there is any signature or exploit attempts.

For the protocol, it should be based on the port though the source may not adhere it. The common DDoS protocol using HTTP, SSDp, NTP to amplify the effects to bring target down faster are gaining traction see the US CERT advisory (https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/alerts/TA14-017A) - check out the mitigation too though you may not trace back to origin source (can be proxy fronted by ISP)
