On a funny side note, it seems that after blocking ASN's I ended up finding by coincidence this list of ASN's that are related in some way to StormWall [1]. Curious what that means. Perhaps they were trying to get me to add myself to a BGP GRE DDoS scrubbing list with the syn-ack packets. Well played if so! :-D
