Hiding the source of the web server scan

Can anyone tell me what tool is used to accomplish the following?

The port scans I see for web servers are followed up with the following
series of commands:

GET http://www.intel.com/ HTTP/1.1\r\n
Host: www.intel.com \r\n
Accept: */*\r\n
Pragma: no-cache:\r\n
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0\r\n
\r\n

www.intel.com is sometimes replaced with www.yahoo.com or whatever address.

The port scan itself is of course detected by my perimeter security, the web
server log I presume always logs that the source was www.intel.com.

No big deal, just that I'm seeing a lot of these recently.
