Strange intrusion detections

@ Lindenlabs

i'm not sure if this is the right place to report this but :

During a check of my firewall log's i spotted some strange entry's.
a traceroute of the entry's resulted in "No match for LINDENLABS.COM"

Log entry:

09 aug 2008 08:39:23 ip: 8.4.129.96 sim946.agni.lindenlabs.com port 1730
09 aug 2008 11:00:15 ip: 8.4.129.96 sim946.agni.lindenlabs.com port 4982
10 aug 2008 23:13:24 ip: 8.4.129.96 sim946.agni.lindenlabs.com port 2288

A little info check also learned me that port 1730 is often used by a program named roketz,
and port 2288 by a program named NETML.

Again i do not know if this is the right place to mention this,
however i do hope there will be looked into these strange connections bij lindenlabs staff.

Both lindenlab.com and lindenlabs.com seem to be owned by LL. Maybe the version with the s, which is not the 'correct' name for LL doesn't do reverse dns?

edit: or are you worried about the port numbers? Are these incoming connections or outgoing?

the conesctions are incomming ones,.and the port numbers itself do not look familiar to me for secondlife usage either.
if SL would use those numbers then i would have a problem of some kind since the connections where blocked by my firewall.
Also would there be more registrations of the detected ports.
I'm in SL since nov 30 2006 and this is the first time i discovered this.

My personal simple conclusion is that someone try's to attack to gain access or some like that and making it look like it comes from lindenlabs.

Well, sim946.agni.lindenlab.com (no 's') is indeed IP 8.4.129.96.

Did these entries happen while you were in SL? Do you have any problems moving around when you're in SL?

I guess it could be somebody trying to hack you but I think it's more likely that your firewall log is showing you local port numbers instead of remote port numbers. Local port numbers are pretty much random..
