Here's a little more I've been able to find. Using --packet-trace, the
responses to legitimately open ports look like this. Note ttl=114

and widely distributed seq.

The bogus SYN-ACK responses are very different. ttl=50 (implying initial
TTL is 64), win=0, mss 1396, id=0, and closely spaced seq.

RCVD (28.6500s) TCP 74.62.92.70:3933 > 192.168.0.21:38553 SA ttl=50 id=0 iplen=44  seq=2583114080 win=0 <mss 1396>

Why would the starting ttl values be different?

Perhaps the packets came from a different machine?  Proxy, firewall?
