No. Probes from two different sweeps had different IP IDs.
But wait...it was 39426 during the first sweep (from 162.105.195.118).

An exploit of the old bug in deattack.c?

I am not sure. That program appears to use a random source port and does
not set fixed (nonzero) IP ID for all probes it sends. Moreover, scanssh
establishes real TCP connection to hosts where open port 22/tcp has been
found, but I did not experience anything like that.
