Well, the SOCKS server listen on port 1080.
I dunno if there are some kind of vulnerability, but it seems
that someone tryed to see if you have a SOCKS server to connect to, IMHO.

theoretically 1.0r5 compiled with libident is remotely exploitable, but I
haven't sat down and hammered it out.  1.0r6 from www.socks.nec.com fixes
it, but naughty people shouldn't be getting at the server to begin with,
as we all well know :)
