    Simple curiosity more than anything.  This amount of activity over such
    a short amount of time is highly unusual and I was curious if others
    were encountering the same thing or if there was a particular script
    kiddie tool that could be associated with this pattern of activity.

    Just out of curiosity, if the SYN packets are
    denied...why bother?  
    
    I'm not asking to be a jerk or anything, I'm simply
    asking b/c our mindset is that if it's blocked, we
    have other, more important things that require our
    attention, so we ignore it.
