Can't help with the mystery port 48825. But I find your approach truly
creative!

My home router sends its logs to the rsyslog on my desktop system, and
from there I can learn all kinds of interesting (or disturbing) things.
I've written a really horrid shellscript (about 20 things piped together
with a temp file in the middle) to give me the count of DROP events for
specific incoming ports. (The "Description" field is lifted verbatim from
/etc/services.)

This is just the first screen of it, there are many more. The data
compiled here is for the last month (rsyslog is keeping the current
log plus four older logs). I find it disturbing that there were 12251
attempts at telnet during that time, 2154 on 8080, and so forth. either
I'm some kind of special/hot target, or else everybody gets this kind
of crap and may not even know it.
But the one thing I mean to ask about here is the very first item,
140,750 attempts at port 48825. What the heck is port 48825? I can't
find any reference to anything that uses it online, but for some reason
it is extremely popular, at least amongst the turkeys trying to break
into my network!
A little more grepping:
grep 'DPT=48825' Firewall-Log* | grep -o "SRC=[09123456789.]*" | sort -u -t '.' -k "1.5g,1g" | less
reveals that of all the source addresses trying to poke at 48825,
there are 193 unique addresses. Either this indicates a heck of a lot
of sites having at my firewall, or that some few sites are all spoofing
their addresses. I can sort of understand people whaling away at ports
that may conceal gold, from their warped point of view, but I haven't a
clue why so many people would be beating on some apparently unassigned
and unused port.
Anyone got any clues?
Thanks in advance!
Fred
