Of course, the poor security geek who see a TCP SYN from port 0 to port 0, and then a SYN+ACK reply back, will be going WTF??!? for the rest of the day. :) (Another good one to induce head-scratching is anything that does RFC1644-style T/TCP. Anytime you see a packet go by in one direction with SYN/FIN *and* data, and the reply has SYN/ACK/FIN and data.. ;) data on it... ;)
