Well, if they're probing 139 and 12345, I would assume they're looking for
NT machines that have Server Management System installed on 'em (or an old
version of NetBus, since that's what a couple of scanners I've used have
defaulted to for a description of port 12345).  SMS is a remote
administration tool for NT machines; I don't know of any specific
vulnerabilities in the current version, but I would love to be corrected
if I'm wrong.
