Example: Use the Logs to Identify Infected Clients
You can use the UTM logs to help identify potentially infected clients on the network. For
example, clients that are generating abnormally high volumes of HTTP traffic might be
infected with spyware or other malware threats.
To identify infected clients that are sending spyware in outbound traffic, query the UTM
malware logs and see if any of your internal IP addresses are the source of spyware.
To identify infected clients:
1. On the Log Query screen (see Figure 301 on page 509), select Traffic as the log type.
2. Select the start date and time from the drop-down lists.
3. Select the end date and time from the drop-down lists.
4. Next to Protocols, select the HTTP check box.
5. Click Search. After a few minutes, the log displays onscreen.
6. Check if there are clients that are sending out suspicious volumes of data, especially to the
same destination IP address, on a regular basis.
If you find a client exhibiting this behavior, you can run a query on that client’s HTTP traffic
activities to get more information. Do this by running the same HTTP traffic query and
entering the client IP address in the Client IP field.
