Security Incidents: scans on port 57

["Ingersoll, Jared" <jared () cswv com>]

I'm seeing a lot of blocked scans on port 57 in my firewall logs, many times
in conjunction with a port 80 or port 21 scan. I was working under the
assumption that these were related to a misconfigured port scanner, but I'm
seeing them from a pretty diverse set of source addresses, so now I'm
curious what they're looking for.
