Saw some SSH probes today, which frightened me somewhat.  It turns out
to be survey profiling device.  This machine (the source of the probes),
offer's some brief details:

Although it would be nice if *they* filtered the netblocks people didn't
want scanned rather than placing the burden on the sites they are
scanning.
