[Full-Disclosure] TCP Port 42 port scans?

[Scot Bryhan]

hello,

CAIDA, the Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis -
(www.caida.org), also has a machine [that is actually located in arin.net's
IP space - "skitter.arin.net", IP address: 192.149.252.8] that was "used to
map the internet" according to hostmaster at arin.net .

damn thing fell in love with my PC's IP back in late May and early June...

hostmaster at arin.net told me that - "The box will be looked at to ensure it
isn't improperly bombarding your network with pings. Feel free to filter out
192.149.252.8 if you so desire."

Scot
