Attack or probe src 80/tcp to dst 80/tcp

Hi all,

does anybody have a clue as to what kind of probe or attack is going on since days coming from source port 80/tcp to dst port 80/tcp? My firewall log is full of this kind of messages:

Thanks!

whois gives for both IPs a hosting provider. Both IPs are registered by a swedish company.
Do you own a web server in your LAN, which is contacted by these IPs? Can you find them in the server logs?
nmap tells port 80 of 31.204.70.135 as tcpwrapped.

I own a web server running on port 80 but nothing got written to the logs, the package length is only 44 byte.

I thought of the logs of your web server.
But you could capture these packets with tcpdump -i red0 host 31.204.70.135

Right, I have analysed them and there was nothing in it referring to the traffic logged in the firewall.

[EDIT:] What I can see is that the traffic stops at the firewall and is not being handled by the web server further downstream, but maybe these non-http “requests” are just not logged per configuration of the web server (nginx).

Three lines of output from tcpdump:
