| I'm seeing firewall log entries for several users attempting to go to UDP port 3478 (STUN) at address 54.84.9.242. It looks like an unregistered address in APNIC. I haven't been able to isolate what is generating the traffic. Anyone else seeing something similar? |

| My lookup of that IP address puts it in Amazon cloud space (ASN 14618), not APNIC. |

| I am seeing lots of stun traffic to 54.84.9.242. Does anyone know what it is? |

| I couldn't find anything malicious either but its been going on for months and there seem to be more and more hosts trying to get out. |

| I have also seen an increasing amount of traffic to this IP from hosts on our network. I have combed through the IDS data and am unable to find any clues so far as to what's causing it all of the sudden. |

| I too have been monitoring this activity for a couple months as it seems to be increasing in volume. Last night I zeroed-in on a particular PC that generated STUN binding requests to 54.83.197.23 every few minutes all night long. These UDP packets were being blocked on egress, maybe the reason for the continually repeated requests. Found that the PC left a chrome browser running all night with a certain page loaded (don't yet know what).The main internet traffic being generated from that PC during the timeframe was to google - "safebrowsing", "tools", "client2", "client4", and possibly google-analytics (one set of logs lists google-analytics as a dest, another doesn't). |

I'm seeing some traffic for this IP correspond with DNS lookups by affected clients for messaging.office.com right before I see the traffic. Though, I am not able to get that to resolve to 54.84.9.242. And, not all clients resolving messaging.office.com hit that ip: Netflow data: 2015-04-29 08:26:58.557 0.000 UDP 192.168.0.146:58218 -> 54.84.9.242:3478 0 28 1 named query log: Apr 29 08:26:58.416 queries: info: client 192.168.0.146#60615: query: messaging.office.com IN A However, for the three relatively quiet machines that hit 54.84.9.242:3478, I did see the same pattern. For other machines that made tens of DNS requests before the STUN action, I did not see a messaging.office.com lookup. It may be coincidental. |

I think this might relate to ninjapd.com. The STUN traffic we've seen to and from this address has followed a DNS query for ph.ninjapd.com. We've seen HTTP traffic to ninjapd.com with a referrer of http://www.el-nacional.com/. Dunno if ninjapd is one of those silly STUN-based CDNs? Maybe el-nacional uses it? |

| Following the virustotal information on the doamins using the IP address, most look like they are tied to White Ops, Dan Kaminsky. Maybe someone should reach out and ask the company? |

We have been seeing the same thing over the last week, ever increasing requests for 3478 (STUN) to 54.84.9.242. We are also seeing DNS requests for the same ph.tworismo.com domain. We have packet captures which include a software designation of "Coturn-4.4.2.3 'Ardee West' which indicates they are using this software: http://coturn.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ChangeLog You can see the pcap details at http://imgur.com/a/tYnee Also, donning my tinfoil, does ph = "Phone Home?" |

With the information others have supplied here, I can confirm that I am seeing ph.adnxtr.com DNS requests on all machines exhibiting this traffic. The messaging.office.com was a fluke in that for three users, the dns resolution occurred very, very close to the observed traffic. But it was not happening on all machines. All machines here are showing the ph.adnxtr.com. We are also seeing packets with the same coturn string in them. |
