We had one reader submit a question with regards to lots of blocked traffic.
Most of the blocked traffic was towards 14323 and alternated between udp and tcp.
Some of the blocked traffic targeted 33435 too. I edited his logs slightly to protect the submitter’s identity and to eliminate some of the "duplicates". If you have additional information or packets please provide them via our contacts link.

 UPDATE

We have received several packets matching some of the IP addresses and ports listed above. They had very low TTLs so I think this is some sort of traceroute tool. I didn't believe it was before because the mix of TCP and UDP. Those are not normally used together in traceroute tools. I still do not know what tool created these but I do believe it is some sort of traceroute like tool.

I'm also observing traffic on 33437/UDP. There's a chance that this traffic isn't associated with this diary entry, but the source IP resolves to hi.pnap.net. Most of the traffic I'm observing regarding the reported ports are coming from pnap.net.
