Anyone seen a probe like this lately?

Jul 23 11:45:53 ### kernel: Packet log: input DENY ppp0 PROTO=6
172.185.150.94:1 ###:35540 L=40 S=0x00
I=2815 F=0x0000 T=35 (#66)

This was the only packet of its type, and there didn't seem to be
anything else happening at the time.  The source address looks up to
ACB9965E.ipt.aol.com.

As there is no SYN flag, it seems this is from some sort of
cracking/security tool, but i'm not sure what.  The source port of
tcpmux is curious.
