If he wanted to block linux machines, isn't their a http variable HTTP_USER_AGENT that he could just test for and drop the connection?
Memory - what a terrible thing to lose. Of course, your right.
He might be testing various port attacks against different kernels and ports. If that is the case, he is doing us all a favor by exposing our weaknesses. That allows patches to be developed to correct the security hole.

I donno, A doctor gave me and my son Hepitites B - It nearly killed him and didn't make either of us stronger, just increased our risk for liver cancer on down the road. (How? He used glass syinges and platinum needles and was using an alcohol lamp to 'sterilize' the needle. Forgot all about the material aspirated into the neck of the syringe. I wouldn't have known this except that a nurse that worked for him was a former student of mine and she told me. The 'doc' lost his license.)
