Well,
    After over 100,000 alerts each with very different payloads the
traffic stopped. I do have a list of all of the dropped packets from my
firewall as well and it appears that it was hitting 3 IP addresses which
are public facing, not just one. The weird part, is that two of those
three aren't even live. So I think that this may have been noise from a
different attack...

    I'd be very interested in decoding the payloads for some of these.
Anyone here have any tools to do such a decode? I'd rather not do it
manual if at all possible.

Although the port 0 in this case is a red herring and irrelevant. Port 0
itself when used with TCP/UDP (not ICMP!) can actually be used on the
Internet. A while back I modified netcat and my linux kernel so that it would
allow usage of port 0 and was able to connect to a remote machine via TCP
with that port and communicate fine.
    

Of course, the poor security geek who see a TCP SYN from port 0 to port 0,
and then a SYN+ACK reply back, will be going WTF??!? for the rest of the day. :)

(Another good one to induce head-scratching is anything that does
RFC1644-style T/TCP.  Anytime you see a packet go by in one direction with
SYN/FIN *and* data, and the reply has SYN/ACK/FIN and data.. ;)
data on it... ;)
