We've seen an increase in scans for dameware (tcp 6129) over the past
four days.  I believe there was an exploit released for dameware, but
I'm unaware of it's behavior.  A colleague first noticed these across
multiple class C networks scanning consecutive IPs, and we have been
seeing the same type of activity.

The interesting part about the scans is that they almost universally
have a source port of 220, which to me indicates either worm activity or
a canned scanner/exploit combo with a hard-coded source-port.

Anyone else seeing an increase in these?

Yes. I'm also seeing a large increase in tcp/6129 scans. All of the scans I am seeing also have a source port of 220, as you said. Scans are across multiple geographically dispersed class C's. The scans started mid-day yesterday for me.
