It could be a zombie machine. If it is then it's not the owner that's
attacking us, but someone else that "owns" that machine. The exploits
on those filtered ports is the reason why most of them are now blocked
on most cable and dsl networks. I would speculate those open ports are
signal ports for controlling the zombie.I find it interesting that
rsync(873) and nessusd (3001) are open and many of the other filtered
ports have had a history exploits against tham. It might be something
in the way a firewall is configured.

"Under existing conditions, private capitalists inevitably control,
directly or indirectly, the main sources of information (press, radio,
education). It is thus extremely difficult, and indeed in most cases
quite impossible, for the individual citizen to come to objective
conclusions and to make intelligent use of his political rights."
