This is most likely an automated scan looking for the trojan "Hack a
Tack". There are a number of web sites that maintain lists of common
Trojan/Backdoors and the TCP/UDP ports they use.

For example, http://www.onctek.com/trojanports.html

Hash: SHA1

This came up in our firewall:

Apr 24 08:48:01 <hostname> kernel: Packet log: unserved DENY eth0
PROTO=UDP 149.225.113.35:31790 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:31789 L=29:9 S=0x00
I=64598 T=115

What concerns me is both the destination port and the packet length.
I'm assuming that L=29:9 means 29 for the whole packet size, and 9 is
the UDP packet size.  Take away the UDP header, leaves you 1?  Am I
reading this correctly?
