LabVIEW
MAX port sweeping
Our firewall has detected a large number of tcp portsweeps from computers running rigs and we are attempting to determine what is causing them. They are being picked up because they show similar properties to trojans trying to get out and sniff the network
I am posting here, because a few of the machines have only NI software on, and we were wondering if it could be caused by MAX attempting to detect devices on the network?

A follow-up:
The boys in IT have determined that it was Automatic Windows Update causing lots of request denials on the firewall. It turns out that automatic updates doesn't always check the microsoft site, often it is 3rd party sites.
So in short - Yay Microsoft 😄

You probably don't want the entire world to update from a server in Redmond, WA. 🙂
I believe they are using akamai as a distributed content delivery system. These are perfectly safe.
