these aren't traceroutes, they are scans for proxies.

Subject: more weird traceroutes

How about this.  A traceroute (sort of) masquarading as RingZero!
It started with this:

00:50:49.091588 212.209.62.2.1040 > 142.62.0.108.80: S 79134:79134(0) win
8192 <mss 1460> (DF) (ttl 18, id 16384)
00:50:49.091774 212.209.62.2.1040 > 142.62.0.108.80: S 79134:79134(0) win
8192 <mss 1460> (DF) (ttl 17, id 16384)
...
00:50:49.093137 212.209.62.2.1040 > 142.62.0.108.80: S 79134:79134(0) win
8192 <mss 1460> (DF) [ttl 1] (id 16384)

The above pattern was repeated a total of 4 times with only the ip id
changing.
This was followed this (also repeated 4 times):

00:51:36.515153 212.209.62.2.1170 > 142.62.0.108.8080: S 126571:126571(0)
win 8192 <mss 1460> (DF) (ttl 18, id 9986)
00:51:36.515310 212.209.62.2.1170 > 142.62.0.108.8080: S 126571:126571(0)
win 8192 <mss 1460> (DF) (ttl 17, id 9986)
...
00:51:36.521579 212.209.62.2.1170 > 142.62.0.108.8080: S 126571:126571(0)
win 8192 <mss 1460> (DF) [ttl 1] (id 9986)

and this (repeated 4 times):

00:52:24.638450 212.209.62.2.1248 > 142.62.0.108.3128: S 174756:174756(0)
win 8192 <mss 1460> (DF) (ttl 18, id 14851)
00:52:24.638597 212.209.62.2.1248 > 142.62.0.108.3128: S 174756:174756(0)
win 8192 <mss 1460> (DF) (ttl 17, id 14851)
...
00:52:24.640191 212.209.62.2.1248 > 142.62.0.108.3128: S 174756:174756(0)
win 8192 <mss 1460> (DF) [ttl 1] (id 14851)

Also, TTL analysis shows either the source address is spoofed, or at least
that there is initial TTL trickery going on.
