This is what passes for computer science education and research these
days.  I bet this scanning is happening from every university and
college with a technical or comp-sci school.

complete bull####.

What a waste of bandwidth.

This IP hit me on ports 161, 53 and 1900.

You tell me why those ports.  What the hell was it expecting to get from
ports 161 or 1900?

Welcome to the Amplification DDoS Tracker Project

Dear visitor,

You landed on this page most likely because you noticed that this
particular host is scanning for UDP and TCP servers of many protocols.
We, the Chair for System Security of the Ruhr University Bochum, Germany
- intentionally run these scans to get an overview of servers that can
be used for amplification in Distributed Denial of Service attacks.

For more information on our research, please have a look at our research
results that we presented at the NDSS'14 conference in Feb '14.

We will present further research results at the USENIX Security '14
conference and the USENIX Workshop on Offensive Technologies (WOOT'14)
in Aug '14.

If our scans disturb you in any way, please feel free to send us a
notice and we can exclude your netrange from our scans. However, please
note that we share our scan results with CERTs worldwide. This helps to
notify operators of insecure servers/hosts. Only if your netrange is not
excluded from the scans you will be able to receive such notices.

Thank you for your understanding. In case you have any questions, please
contact syssec+abuse [a_t] rub [dot] de
