Linuxconf scanning

[Ian Eure <ieure () SICKFUCK ORG>]

saw some linuxconf scanning this weekend...

-- snip --
Aug  5 15:29:33 spindle kernel: Packet log: ltraf REJECT eth0 PROTO=6
211.169.82.130:4450 aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:98 L=60 S=0x00 I=16301 F=0x4000 T=43
SYN (#11)

211.169.82.130:4450 aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd:98 L=60 S=0x00 I=16301 F=0x4000 T=43
SYN (#11)
-- snip --
$ grep 98\/tcp /etc/services
linuxconf       98/tcp                          # LinuxConf
$

a quick whois shows the 210/8 & 211/8 subnets as delegated to the
asia-pacific region. queries to whois.apnic.net were butt-slow and didn't
respond.

did anyone else see this over the weekend?
