    The logical assumption would be that they wouldn't visit you again in the
    near future.  If I were them I would do the scan, and log those who look to
    find out information on the scan and how quickly.  If they looked I would
    know that they were reviewing the logs and following up.  More importantly,
    if I was hit shortly after the scan I would know the target actively checks
    their logs.  If I wanted to reduce the likelihood of getting caught or
    investigated I'd move to someplace that wasn't paying attention.

    Greetings,
    
    I just got scanned from 211.100.7.29 on port 80.  Snort picked up the scan
    and alerted me.  Check out the request:

    Looks like a scan for proxy.  Upon visiting that site
    http://asia1.vr9.com/cgi-bin/ver.cgi?file=../search.htm&port=80 I see the
    following:
    
    REMOTE_ADDR = my.ip.addr
    
    Looks like he/she has a script running on the other end waiting for
    connections and storing the IP's...
    
    Interesting.  I wonder if there will be a follow up visit to me, because i
    did that...
