    I aso agree the we can not be certain that these are CR probes without 
    IDS fingerprints.  That said my data (from argus logs) measuring SYN 
    packets to non existant/firewalled machines shows and expoential 
    increase starting at midnight UTC and now I am seeing over 40,000 
    individual ips probing on port 80.  Starting at ^:35 (utc + 1200) I am 
    also seeing hits on the snort .ida rules ( 70 in the last half hour).
    
    All very odd!!
