Hello,

I was wondering if port scan from port 80 is common.
I do not have much experience with firewall,
and do not know very much about analyzing logs.

It's possible that a webserver of other device behind a firewall has been compromised, and it's using the fact that the firewall allows port 80 outbound in order to perform it's malicious activity. Or it could be a tool that has been configured that way.
