    Over the past couple days I've noticed an increase in
    scans targeting TCP port 1. While looking at my logs,
    I noticed an odd pattern to the Source IPs of these
    scans. If you look at the listing below, it looks
    like the scans started coming from 24.62, then 24.61,
    24.60, 20.59, and 24.58 IP addresses. 24.60 thru
    24.62 belong to attbi (now Comcast), 24.58 thru 24.59
    belong to Time Warner Cable (RoadRunner), Syracuse NY.

    Has anyone else seen these? Any ideas what they could
    be? I'm guessing from the pattern that either it's a
    backdoor trojan that's being exploited to trigger
    scans, and the controlling hacker is hitting IP ranges
    sequentially in decreasing order, or the source IPs
    are spoofed.
