Yeah, the person who couldn't figure out how to loop over a set of integers is also writing a virus. That's likely to happen. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to do this -- finding web servers people are running on their workstations within a company for example. It's of more concern that a JSP list is being used to discuss these things -- I'm assuming that they're not running a scan against a /16 network from within a JSP page.
