    Hello,
    
    Just some snort logs I found interesting. Time is GMT+2, and the source 
    IP comes from Malaysia.

    What seems odd to me is quite unusual set of ports for a scan. Quite a 
    few vulnerabilities have been discovered in SNMP (port 161), an 
    ingreslock service (port 1524) is reported to be used as an backdoor 
    for several exploits against RPC services, finger is a rarely used 
    service these days. So far, so good, but I fail to see what these three 
    ports have in common. Has anyone seen something similar? Any insight 
    would be greatly appreciated.
    
    Best regards,
