And, BTW, it looks like the previous message was bounced due to the text
attachment of the port numbers ASCII document.  SBT.

As an added note, there's no match for those UDP ports on l0pht, phrack,
etc. either.

Here's a list of services and their known port numbers.

However, it appears that they're scanning for ports in the "reserved" or
"unassigned" zones.  It could be that they're scanning those ports just
to
see if you're allowing scans or blocking them/dropping them to a null
route... before running a subsequent scan.  Other than that, I'm not
quite
sure what they're looking for, to be truthful.

One thought that comes to mind in regards to the high-numbered ports is
whether they might think that that's a firewall running PAT/NAT, in
which
case, private IPs behind the firewall would end up showing up as
high-numbered ports on the firewall.  Is this on a gateway/firewall, and
if
so, are you running NAT/PAT?

I've been going though my scanlogs and in the past couple of days I
have
seen someone trying to come in.  Thier not getting in but im noticing
them
hitting a number of ports over and over. Primarily attempting udp port
0,
but also 35072, 41612, and 63240. I've done searches on Google,
Dejanews,
Bugtraq etc but can't seem to find out what these ports are.  Just
wondering if anyone had come across them ever....
