RE: FW: Wierd .ida request? What is it?

A few possibilities come to mind:

1. your IP address changed recently (dialup perhaps?)
   and the response was intended for the previous owner
   of that ip (it is possible that the response is not
   realtime, but sent after analyzing the logs periodically)

2. Remote side is scanning, and masking the scan by
   making you think that it is a codered response

3. Your machine _is_ scanning, hacked perhaps, or
   a legitimate user tried some script (I am sure
   there are scripts that exploit the vulnerability
   by now)
