Well looks like they are just scanning and attempting to compromise your 
network. If you have that Kuang2 trojan installed on your machines I think 
you do not have it, you shld be safe. Yeah they may be back again! :-(

Last Sunday (Feb 9) I reported a sudden flurry of scans on tcp/17300
(the Kuang2 backdoor).  I had 9 hits in an hour on a cable modem, and
18 in all in the next 6 hours, then they stopped.  Nothing appeared
on my radar screen at work where I monitor a /18, a /22, and a /24
address block.

Today looks like a revisit of similar probing.  Home cable modem
reports (timezone EST, GMT-05:00), all directed at my tcp/17300:

But once again, no sign of it at the office.  Very strange.  Since the
connection is never established, I don't know the payload they are
trying to deliver.  Will try to setup a honeypot on the port and see
what comes up.
