Maybe, after finishing my testing, since its not that many netblocks, it might be time to just firewall all incoming connections from amazon's cloud until they make an announcement that they actually take network security seriously.

Below is just an example of 'hits' on the ET (snort) sigs for amazon ec2 cloud: I have no idea what legitimate purposes these ip's serve, since there has not been one legit request from their netblocks.

this is an ET sig (Sipvicious scan) against our sipx server, UDP port 5060.
at the very least, maybe we all can firewall their EC2 netblocks from accessing our sipx servers.

/var/log/snort.log.0.gz:Apr 28 00:33:01 scanner snort[56863]: [1:2008578:2] ET SCAN Sipvicious Scan [Classification: Attempted Information Leak] [Priority: 2]: <trust0> {UDP} 79.125.80.145:5060 -> xxx.xxx.10.1:5060 /var/log/snort.log.0.gz:Apr 28 00:33:01 scanner snort[56863]: [1:2010816:6] ET POLICY Incoming UDP Packet From Amazon EC2 Cloud [Classification: Misc activity] [Priority: 3]: <trust0> {UDP} 79.125.80.145:5060 -> xxx.xxx.10.1:5060


here is a list of known amazon EC2 netblocks:

174.129.0.0/16,67.202.0.0/18,79.125.0.0/17,184.72.0.0/15,75.101.128.0/17,174.129.0.0/16,204.236.128.0/17
