    Can anyone tell me what tool is used to accomplish the following?
    
    The port scans I see for web servers are followed up with the following
    series of commands:
    
    GET http://www.intel.com/ HTTP/1.1\r\n
    Host: www.intel.com \r\n
    Accept: */*\r\n
    Pragma: no-cache:\r\n
    User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0\r\n
    \r\n
    
    www.intel.com is sometimes replaced with www.yahoo.com or whatever address.
    
    The port scan itself is of course detected by my perimeter security, the web
    server log I presume always logs that the source was www.intel.com.
    
    No big deal, just that I'm seeing a lot of these recently.
