Looked just like a regular SYN flood to the target IP. Not sure why they picked source addresses that were so obviously bogus though.
Can anyone think of a reason why this sort of traffic should be routed at all? Does anyone actually drop hosts on to addresses ending in x.x.x.0?
x.x.0.0 is a valid ip address for networks with bit lengths of 0 through 15. And yes, folks do use /32 and /31 addresses which end in .0.
