    Hi All,
    
    Has anyone else noticed a high number of hits in their security logs,
    where the source port is set to tcp 80 and the destination port is some
    high tcp port? I have noticed that these events seem to be getting more
    numerous than the NetBios scans ;-)
    
    For example:
    2002-12-13 09:08:04 194.78.225.36:80 XX.XX.XX.XX:29439
    2002-12-13 09:07:04 194.78.225.36:80 XX.XX.XX.XX:29439

    2002-12-13 09:00:54 194.78.225.36:80 XX.XX.XX.XX:29439
    2002-12-13 09:00:54 194.78.225.36:80 XX.XX.XX.XX:29439
    
    It appears to be some kind of automated scan as the time of each entry
    appears to follow a pattern.
