Hey there,

I need some help of somebody who knows what's going on here. I researched a lot about DCE/RPC but there is not very much detailed information available on the web. Maybe somebody here can give me some information on the following capture:

(no need to get too deep into details, but if you like to you're welcome :)

*hint: It might be an exploit via Steam-Client on these ports. It has nothing to do with a game or anything, and it appears randomly, unexpected. Maybe something non-public?

These might just be non-DCE RPC packets misidentified as DCE RPC because the heuristics Wireshark uses to recognize DCE RPC packets can get false positives (no heuristic is perfect), and those packets just happen to have the same values in certain locations that DCE RPC packets do.

Thank you for your answer. But how realistic is it that wireshark misinterprets it's like that:

The sequences from Packet 1 (Fault) to packet 23 (Orphaned) always repeat in the same pattern. I mean it clearly shows the seq.-numbers and stuff. One day it doesn't happen, the next day it happens 2-3 times in a row (never more), if I'm online with Steam (ingame on a server). To me it rather looks like somebody/something tries to send an exploit (maybe targeting windows-machines) and realizes after 2-3 tries that it doesn't work. However I can be wrong.

How to be sure?
