When you see someone probing every single port on the box, you know they’re either a bad actor, or a security tool. No legit user is going to keep hammering ports without a known service.

Bad actors you can either block or counter attack. Security tools should be registering their address with whatever internal tracker you’re using so they can be white listed.
