  A handful of machines, nowhere near me (network prefixes

RST packets, all with a source port of 7000, to assorted
(random) addresses in my public Class B range.

  I expect this means that someone is spoofing random source
addresses -- many of them in my range, but who knows how many
in others... -- and ports and SYN-flooding those half-dozen
machines.

  So far, reverse DNS and traceroute haven't helped me identify
the victims.


Apple File Protocol is actually port 548, not port 7000.

If I recall correctly, afs3 is a NFS like file system by IBM.. but it's not by Apple. :)
