Kavishka Dilshan

Recommended Posts

Dear All

Every day I received one message from ESET End Point Security regarding, A device  on the network is sending malicious traffic. This can be an attempt to attack your computer. The threat was block. After received this message my internet connection suddenly disconnect. After restart my Firewall it will work. As per my knowledge this message coming because of the duplicate IP address in my network. How I fix this issue. I have DHCP pool in my firewall. I think that pool is not working properly.  some time this message coming with default gateway IP. If I disable and enable DHCP pool from my firewall it can be fix this issue?

Thanks

Your device has been enrolled in a botnet. Refer to this Eset Knowledge Base article: https://support.eset.com/en/kb8111-detected-network-device-sending-malicious-traffic

I would start by ensuring your Fortigate firewall has applied all available security updates: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/new-critical-vulnerability-discovered-fortinet-gustav-eriksson-pfh0c . Ditto for any other Fortinet products you are using since numerous past vulnerabilities have been discovered: https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-3080/Fortinet.html

Review the linked Eset article in detail. Of note;

  •  If the device functions as a router, it might not be infected itself but could be configured to forward malicious traffic to your network from external sources. We recommended reviewing the router settings
  • The possibly infected device is sending (or forwarding) malicious traffic to other devices in your local network

You can also try using Eset Network Inspector: https://help.eset.com/ees/11/en-US/idh_page_sysinspector.html?zoom_highlightsub=network+inspector to scan your network and identify if your router has been compromised.

-EDIT- Apologies, it appears Eset doesn't include Network Inspector feature in its Endpoint versions.

Post a screenshot of the Eset alert for the above.

If the alert is the same as shown in this Eset forum posting: https://forum.eset.com/topic/36808-duplicate-ip/ , follow the mitigation procedure given in that posting.
