It would have to be a kiddie with an army of zombies at his (or her) 
disposal. The probes came from hundreds (if not thousands) of different
IPs and a small random sample I checked was able to finish the TCP 3-way 
handshake (and read a server greeting and disconnect) when it probed an 
address where a telnet server was listening and accessible.
