Hello,
I have a lot connections from my firewall to public IP addresses 65.52.98.231 port 443.
Our SIEM correlated events and generating the following offense:
Event Name: Excessive Firewall Accepts From Multiple Sources to a Single Destination
Low Level Category: Firewall Permit
Event Description: Excessive Firewall Accepts were detected from multiple hosts to a single destination. More than 100 events were detected from at least 100 unique source IP addresses in 5 minutes. This is common in large organization where the destination is a common web server like Google or a software update site, however connections to unknown hosts should be investigated.

Legal/illegal KMS activation. Any idea?
Could someone confirm these are bad and OK, to block?

Hello COS,
5 Microsoft services are hosted on IP address in question. These services are used for activation and update stuff. Refer Bellow mentioned link.
https://www.robtex.com/dns/co2.sls.microsoft.com.html
Traffic log says application is "ms-product-activation". Hence I believe some of the applications are trying to activate itself.
Collect source IP addresses and provide it to system team to find out root cause of simultaneous activation logs.
Bottom line is its not a threat, its genuine traffic.
Even SIEM says Excessive session, not malicious session. Its just an alert to administrator, so he can varify if destination is malicious[torrent/bot/etc].

Hello COS,
Please find WHOIS for new 3 IP addresses, they all belongs to Microsoft.
http://www.whois.com/whois/64.4.11.25
http://www.whois.com/whois/134.170.189.4
http://www.whois.com/whois/64.4.11.25
Moreover, virustotal result based on IP address doesnt prove any thing. Nobody can confirm if connections were malicious. In virus total results also most of the anti-virus are not detecting it as a virus.

Hardik Shah
