VPN Login Failures

L1 Bithead

Hi,

I received two kinds of events when I tried to connect VPN.  Which event I can consider as a threat.

I have excluded the username pre-logon from monitoring but for the destination 0.0.0.0 is receiving.

 

Why destination IP show 0.0.0.0? Can I ignore it?

 

Destination IP as 0.0.0.0

I don't understand your case, but if use Pre-Logon include routes because these routes try communicate with LDAP, if otherwise, if have profiles SAML, check if the pool IP address can access to the Internet. I had a customer environment similar at you, but the Pre-Logon have include routes to the LDAP, and the second session in the gateway have a SAML profile. This maybe works but it's neccesary deploy with anysome integration.

Hi,

I have a SIEM use case for VPN login failures followed by success to the same user after 5 failures.

When I check the event, I could see the source is external IP as expected and destination is 0.0.0.0 and with our internal VPN gateway IP alternatively.

Here I am getting confusion should I consider the destination IP 0.0.0.0 also or we can ignore it for failures.

 

Thanks
