Look Up Incidents by IP Address

I had been wondering how much protection personal firewalls provide against potential attacks that target non-standard IP protocol types. Below is an IP-within-IP Encapsulation Protocol packet (IP Protocol = 94) which I received today...my personal firewall didn't even log it...I just happened to have my analyzer running and caught it.

Pretty neat to see TWO IP headers in one packet. I have no idea exactly what uses this protocol (suspect some kind of VPN or tunneling product) nor what vulnerabilities this person might be looking for.

Note: My connection is PPPoE over ADSL (hence the PPP headers below).
