Yes, all they did was scan for port 8080. This is used as part of a scan to detect open http proxy servers. An open http proxy server can be used to proxy attacks against an http server thus hiding the attacker. -A --- James <the_saint_james () yahoo com> wrote:

Anything else ? Can't find anything at whitehat.com on this rule; it is part of the standard snort distro. So they scanned port 8080, is that all ? james _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
