Tofsee TLS Fingerprint Detection

L2 Linker

Hi all,

Since the moment we updated our threat database to 8204-5736 we see THOUSANDS of 'Tofsee TLS Fingerprint Detection' threat matches.

I assume they are false positives? Anyone else seeing the same?

It's skewing our monitoring stats significantly so I may need to create an exception.

Thanks.

Are you still experiencing hits for "Non-RFC Compliant SSL Traffic on Port 443?"  Threat ID 56112.  I have seen a large uptick in this activity since Palo Alto updated the threat on 11-19-2019.  Thanks.

We are still experiencing hits on that threat signature across multiple firewalls at this time. Due to the informational severity and recent holidays, I have not had a chance to investigate it much at all. I will probably end up opening a support case for clarification on this matter.

Yep, we're seeing continual 'Non-RFC Compliant SSL Traffic on Port 44' alerts too, but nothing like the volumes seen on the Tofsee threat.

I am seeing lots of alerts for 

Name: Non-RFC Compliant SSL Traffic on Port 443

Unique Threat ID: 56112

 

to 31.13.70.50 which belongs to Facebook.  However, the device (android mobile phone) that is causing the alerts does not have facebook app installed.

Hello 

 

Few Non-RFC Complaint signatures that was introduced in late last year and non-RFC Compliant SSL Traffic on Port 443(56112) is one of them. Please note that the main aim behind the signature TID 56112 is to detect suspicious and non-RFC compliant SSL traffic on port 443 or applications sending non-SSL traffic using port 443 or indicate possible malicious activity. 

You can capture the facebook traffic from the android device on your Firewall and check the traffic SSL protocol.
