is it possible that the rise this past year in NetBus (12345/TCP) and Sub7
2.1 (27374/TCP) is some sort of underground audit to collect statistics on
the number of infected machines? i'm thinking about last winter's Internet
Aduting Project (mirrored at http://www.viacorp.com/auditing.html).

some of the projects i'm involved with would definitely look nefarious to
someone who didn't know our larger picture, which is entirely statistical.

[speaking of the IAP, what ever happened to the results they promised to
post?]
