The following was logged. My hostname and IP changed.

Aug 27 20:06:14 noname kernel: Packet log: input ACCEPT eth0 PROTO=1 24.8.72.245:8 xxx.yyy.zzz.www:0 L=36 S=0x00 I=56281 F=0x0000 T=118 (#6)

You probably missed the "PROTO=1" bit of that line. Have a look at /etc/protocols: icmp 1 ICMP # internet control message protocol So you are not experiencing tcp connection attempts on port 8, but ICMP requests. Looking further: $ grep 8 /usr/i486-glibc20-linux/include/netinet/ip_icmp.h [...] #define ICMP_ECHO 8 /* Echo Request */ [...] So what you are experiencing are simple pings...
