Any idea what they are doing? Trying to portscan? Looking for some vulnerability with 'dest port' 0?

Michael, It's "backscatter." An unknown third party is spoofing xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and SYN flooding port 80 TCP on 121.35.241.129. 121.35.241.129 is the real victim. 2000 paper: http://www.taosecurity.com/nid_3pe_v101.pdf 1999 paper: http://www.taosecurity.com/intv2-8.html There's nothing to worry about.
