Hello all,

I have a curiousity question. In the last 24 hours I have seen scans for
the following ports. They have been from multiple addresses at different
times. The scans have been the same ports and sequence each time which leads
me to suspect a canned scan tool.  Is this something new? Thanks in advance.

cheers,

I first noticed these scans two weeks ago. Now I get about 20 a day going to random addresses on my network. Each port is hit in 4 second increments. There coming from all over the world. Using netcraft.com, all the source addresses are running Linux. I assume this is some new yet to be determined Linux worm. The only mention I can find of it is at:
