I'm noticing a growing number of scans of four ports (1433, 8000, 3128,
and 8080, in succession from increasing source ports).  These are 
MS-SQL, WinAmp, Ring Zero, and HTTP proxy.  The scans look like:
Seen several squid HTTP proxies on 3128 too.

I suppose the $64K question is:  is this a simple script-kiddie
scan, or perhaps a new worm signature as it attempts to propagate?
Can't think of a worm wading thru SQL Servers *and* HTTP proxies.

I'd guess someone is compiling a list of target IPs for future use;
SQL Server can be a valuable target, and misconfigured proxies could
be used to masquerade an attack.

WinAmp leaves me baffled. Maybe someone can answer that part of the
equation.
