I have what I'm assuming is a worm/scanner that is attempting to connect

Any ideas?

Spoofed SYN flood.  I know because I've got one in my dorms that's attacking
random cable modems even as I type this.  I also had a large outbound SYN
flood against 68.202.199.235 earlier tonight.

I'm still attempting to track down the offending host on my network.
