On the bright side, when double-checking the firewall on my home cable modem setup, it appears that Comcast here in the SF Bay Area has started filtering out incoming port 135 SYN packets -- they get dropped before they hit my firewall. Thanks, Comcast! On the not so bright side, I'm getting a steady stream of port 135 SYNs from my fellow Comcast customers (i.e., presumably on my side of Comcast's filters), which may mean the horses have mostly already left the barn.
