TCP: Treason Uncloaked

DISCLAIMER:

AGAIN: THIS INFORMATION PROVIDES NO WARRANTY, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

I’ve researched this extensively, and unfortunately the majority of information I’ve found is useless. Most of it reads like this:

Post to a newsgroup or mailing list: “What is this log message: ‘Treason Uncloaked’?”
Response: “You didn’t search on Google did you? Try searching on Google and you’ll find out that it is no big deal.”

Hmm, we’ll I’ve searched and searched and found no conclusive evidence that it is no big deal. I’ve found a number of conflicting, inconclusive explanations, including tarpit attacks (aka tar-pit), buggy TCP stacks, buggy nic card drivers, spam bots, denial of service attacks, (d-o-s), and even bandwidth shaper effects.

What follows is the information I’ve found regarding this slippery log message, and how I’ve come up empty handed.

What is most interesting to me is that the source IPs are almost always guilty of blog spam bots, spam bots or otherwise:
