It's a weird one for sure. It's a new TCP SYN packet in between each interval. I would say it's a whole new connection but every sequence number and source port is the same which is common with poorly / lazily coded scanning scripts yet they set an MSS of 1400 but then lacks SackOK. EDIT: Turns out NMAP also lacks SackOK

I've enabled logging of invalid packets. Hopefully they will try again.
