Look like KaZaa scans...here is something from Greg Woods from back in the
summer:

Subject: Weird scan on port 1214

 Now, port 1214 is reserved for what is called  "Intelligent
Communications Protocol" on tcp and KAZAA on udp. I don't know what the
first one is, I do know that Kazaa is a file sharing thingy though.

KAZAA is really just HTTP on a "private" port.  You can connect to it
with any HTTP browser and get more or less meaningful results.

 The small packet count reminds one of a vulnerability scan. Has there
been any vulnerability known re: kazaa (the most probable target)?

It's more likely they're just scanning for KAZAA servers.

One of my clients received a copyright infringement notification from
the Motion Picture Association Worldwide Anti-Piracy group the other day
stating that such a client was running on a customer's machine and that
it contained copyrighted materials.

Whether your "scans" are from the likes of the MPA, or just from those
trying to find files, or if there's a vulnerability in KAZAA and
someone's trying to find targets, is anyone's guess at this point.

What source address(es) did those connections appear to have come from?

Hi List,

yesterday I mentioned activites on my Port 1214. Today the activites grown. 
We're now about 50.000 requests for yesterday, and today at 20.000. They
came 
from different IP's. Searched on some Trojan List but found nothing.
